Abbey Lincoln Being Me Lyrics

Being Me Lyrics

All along away there were things to do

Always some other, someone I could be

All the things to know, all the ways to go

To fly a spirit for to stage the show



It wasn't always easy learning to be me

Sometimes my head and heart would disagree

Times I walked away, all the times I'd stay

To see the glamor of my life play



Being me again to be myself alone

Sometimes I love the things they said

Some things were cold as stone, it was lonely

Sometimes, sometimes it was blue and the lights were brilliant



Sometimes, sometimes there was you

Being me [Incomprehensible] see now and then

So many things have changed and yet somehow

There will always be a stage, a song for me

Hold a curtain or been it's time to take a bow
