3
[Verse 1]
4
Virginia Woolf and poetry
5
No one seemed to notice me
6
Being young was getting so old
7
Cheap beer and cigarettes
8
Life was like a movie set
9
And I seemed to be given no role
10
[Pre-Chorus]
11
But in times of trouble
12
I can turn to my mother
13
And I know that she gon' understand
14
So at age 18
15
I cried to my mother
16
And she told me, "young man"
17
[Chorus]
18
"There are moments when you fall to the ground
19
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
20
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
21
Just be as you are
22
Life is not always a comfortable ride
23
Everybody's got scars that they hide
24
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah
25
Just be as you are"
26
[Verse 2]
27
They played me on the radio
28
And everything was changing, so
29
I thought I was all the way grown
30
But I can still remember in that cold November
31
When I realized I'm all alone
32
[Pre-Chorus]
33
But in times of trouble
34
I can turn to my mother
35
And I know that she gon' understand
36
So at age 22
37
I cried to my mother
38
And she told me, "young man"
39
[Chorus 2]
40
"There are moments when you fall to the ground
41
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
42
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
43
Just be as you are
44
It doesn't matter if you become some star
45
Life is better when you open your heart
46
You don't always have to act so hard, no
47
Just be as you are"
48
[Bridge]
49
If I'm speaking truthfully
50
I'm not who I used to be
51
And I know some people might laugh
52
Cause my music doesn't sound the same
53
And my head's no longer shaved
54
I'm worried if I'm on the right path
55
[Pre-Chorus]
56
But in times of trouble
57
I can turn to my mother
58
And I know that she gon' understand
59
So at age 26
60
I spoke to my mother
61
And she told me, "young man"
62
[Chorus 2]
63
Be as you are
