Be the Way You Are

about

The instrumental on this I realize is a little like the "Swingle Singers" doing the Goldberg Variations--a result of listening to them and other Baroque pieces while writing in my journal for about 5 years, and using multi-tracking to do a kind of "air guitar" version of an orchestra.

lyrics

Be the Way You Are
2014 Words and Music by Michael Silverstone
Mr. Silverstone Music/ASCAP

Riding on a train
in fields in rising sun
--in the morning bright and green
swaying on the rails
searching as we go
searching where we’ve been

be the way you are
--what you have to be
is all right
is all right
Live don’t give away
what you want
today
--or tonight
or tonight
be what you . . .

were you thinking you’re alone
that nobody’s here for you
can you feel how something new
is trying to tell you

Be the way you are
--what you have to be
is all right
is all right
What would matter most
if everything should go
today
or tonight
be what you. . .

It’s o.k. go to sleep
in the morning when you rise
All will be fine in the end
There’s a place warm and light
where angels are your friends
let the peace come to your mind

Be the way you are
--what you have to be
is all right
is all right
what would matter most
if everything were gone
today
or tonight
be what you. . .

It’s o.k. go to sleep
in the morning when you rise
All will be fine in the end
There’s a place warm and light
where angels are your friends
let the peace come to your mind
let the peace come to your mind
