Jacob Dowlan - True to Yourself Lyrics

I look around me in this world and it's so depressing
So many people dying in the streets without addressing
The real problem that's occurring in this day-to-day
The greed and hunger for nothing but their weekly pay
No matter who you are, or what you think you're really worth
The size of your heart will always trump your wallet's girth
So poke around, see what's really on the inside
How will you be able to hold your head on your next stride?
I'm makin' beats from the heart, I tell you that's a fact
I'm no Jon Bellion but I feel I'm on the right track
To build my brand of music lovers who 'preciate
The heart and soul of these sounds and they participate
Cos I'm only human, producing in the spare room
On this old computer that's like it's from two thousand and two
Don't need a studio the size of Chicago
Cos all you need's an SM58 and you're ready to go
I don't know what the future will hold
And if you just reach out, not afraid to be bold
And it's true (It's true)
It's you (It's you)
Who can carve your path in this life worth livin'
If you just reach out, not afraid to be true to yourself
Do ya know what matters?
Cos I tell ya it's not our possessions
It's the people round us, brothers sisters they're the real blessings
Mistakes, I've made few in my time, but
They're how we learn, how we grow, they keep-us-in-line, yeah
We're only human, and I tell ya you are not alone
We're in this boat together and this planet's getting overgrown
With greed, money and the size of their estate
And we could feed the hungry if we just changed what was on our plate
They said count your blessings, tell us what He did for you
But every day's a blessing and I tell you that's the honest truth
Every word, every lyric that comes to my ear
Call it divine appointment, but I know He's made it clear
To step out, yeah to shine some light on everyone
To let them hear these words of mine and know we've only just begun
Flowin' music from my heart, show who I really am
Been down the wrong path for too long yeah, now let me sing
I don't know what the future will hold
And if you just reach out, not afraid to be bold
And it's true (It's true)
It's you (It's you)
Who can carve your path in this life worth livin'
If you just reach out, not afraid to be true to yourself
Stay true
Stay true
Stay
I don't know what the future will hold
And if you just reach out, not afraid to be bold
And it's true (It's true)
It's you (It's you)
Who can carve your path in this life worth livin'
If you just reach out, not afraid to be true to yourself
I don't know what the future will hold
And if you just reach out, not afraid to be bold
And it's true (It's true)
It's you (It's you)
Who can carve your path in this life worth livin'
If you just reach out, not afraid to be true to yourself
Stay true
