Lyrics
[Intro - crowd roars as band takes the stage]
(Spoken) Let’s be true to ourselves, brothers and sisters?
(Instrumental - funky guitar, horns, Hammond organ)
[Verse 1]
Look in that mirror, what do you see?
Just you and your soul, that's all you need
Feel that rhythm deep in your core
That's where it starts, you know the score
No need for masks to fit right in
Let your true colors shine from within
Walk your path with your head held high
Feel that freedom, touch the sky
[Chorus]
(With backing vocals)
Stay true, oh stay true, be you
In everything you say and do
Stay true, oh stay true, be you
Let your spirit come shining through
Stay true, don't let nobody win
Let your heart be the guide within
Stay true, let the world see your light
Shine on, shine on through the night
[Verse 2]
Some folks might try to change your style
Make you someone else for a while
In the end it's your groove that counts
That's what matters, that's what amounts
Don't let this world try to dim your shine
You're a star, baby, so fine
In every move, choose to be
The person you were born to be, can't you see?
[Bridge]
We're all here together, in this sacred place
Lift your voices, show your face
Be who you are, let it all hang out
That's what soul is all about!
[Verse 3]
This world tries to put you in a box
But your story's yours, it never stops
Don't let others dictate your worth
You've been groovin' since your birth
Turn away from the fake, embrace the real
Your authenticity's your biggest deal
From your threads to your soul, stay true
'Cause there's only one version of you
[Verse 4]
In a world full of noise and takes
Your uniqueness is all it takes
No one can touch your righteous soul
Being yourself should be your goal
From your low times to your high
Let your true colors touch the sky
Embrace your quirks, they're not a flaw
You're the whole package, leave 'em in awe
[Chorus]
(With backing vocals)
Stay true, oh stay true, be you
In everything you say and do
Stay true, oh stay true, be you
Let your spirit come shining through
Stay true, don't let nobody win
Let your heart be the guide within
Stay true, let the world see your light
Shine on, shine on through the night
[Outro]
(Ad-lib with crowd participation)
Be you, be you, be you...
(Fade out with horns and vocals)
