You Can Be What You Want To Be

about

A close friend of mine was having difficulty accepting the fact that he was bisexual/homo-curious and asked me to write him a song about the subject.

He was fighting himself internally and couldn't accept that he got more turned on by the sight of men, rather than women, so I wrote this, because he was scared of what other people would think of him and what they might say to/about him.

But the truth is, who are they to judge you?
If you want to love people from the same or opposite genders, who's right is it to stop or try to dissuade you from doing just what you want to do.

And remember, You can be what you want to be <3

lyrics

You don't let anyone push you around
Because you've already set out your life
Got a plan written on a piece of paper
Locked up in a box, in the back of your mind

I think you know the secret
Those who plan will go far

You can be what you want to be, if you put your mind to it
You'll have people trying to put you down, but don't let them do it
If you're strong, wise and proud of yourself
You will find the way, oh yeah, 'cause I believe in you

You have made a serious choice
But don't worry there are others like you
It's the friends in life that we love
That'll guide us through

I think you know the secret
Those who love will go far

You can be what you want to be, if you put your mind to it
You'll have people trying to put you down, but don't let them do it
If you're strong, wise and proud of yourself
You will find the way, oh yeah, 'cause I believe in you

You don't know how much you mean to me
Or how much I am praying for you to succeed
You're my friend and I will love you forever
You'll find the way it's true
Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you

Began to write music upon turning 12, Starting a debut album Birth Of The Bird near the time my grandma passed on.

I produce songs that are full of emotion, so they end up becoming stories more than songs. ... more
