„Be yourself“

Someone falls to pieces, sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain, spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited in a chapel yard, catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen white roses on a grave

Yeah, and to be yourself is all that you can do
Hey, to be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself, down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love until the end of time, another runs away
Separate or united, healthy or insane

To be yourself is all that you can do (All that you can do), oh
To be yourself is all that you can do (All that you can do), oh
To be yourself is all that you can do (All that you can do), oh
To be yourself is all that you can do

And even when you’ve paid enough
Been pulled apart or been held up
Every single memory of the good or bad
Faces of luck, don’t lose any sleep tonight
I’m sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do, yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do, oh

To be yourself is all that you can do (All that you can do), oh
To be yourself is all that you can do (All that you can do), oh-yeah
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do

Tekst za pesmu „Be yourself“ napisao je Chris Cornell, dok su muziku komponovali svi članovi grupe Audioslave. Objavljena je kao singl početkom februara 2005. godine, najavljujući njihov drugi album „Out of exile“ (na kome je i „Doesn’t remind me“, još jedan njihov veliki hit). Na svakom od, nažalost, samo tri snimljena albuma za pet godina zajedničkog rada, nalaze se pesme koje su svojim kvalitetom zaslužile da ostanu trajno zabeležene u istoriji rok muzike. Jedna od njih je i „Be yourself“.
