Stay True To You Be Your Own

When the first man left the trees for the cave, did those men in the trees think him crazed, as he grazed land did they look on amazed, why leave your known home and natural place? Overtime trees unclimbed were left behind, with the duties of limbs reassigned, thrive in an unknown world they find, cus one soul braved the unknown blind. Actions against instinct presumably bad, perceived as life threatening totally mad, the unnecessary those before never had, reasons for the existence we now have. There's comfort when sticking with the known, be brave with courage and go it alone. The first to crawl from water or have flown shaped destiny, live true to you be your own. "You did what he did and he did what she did, that's how the sheep live, look how the sheep live. Give roots to the path not yet routed, you did what you did and he did what he did".

Route is pronounced the same as root, Americans say it wrong
