December 2, 2008 - Your Song

This is my entry for Week Ten of The Real LJ Idol competition, where the topic is "You're So Vain - You Probably Think This Topic is About You." I'll post an update about voting later in the week. You need to have a Live Journal account to vote. If you want one, go now to LiveJournal and create one. Then you might want to go ahead and join The Real LJ Idol community, since some voting will be restricted to community members.

Hello, it's me. 1 I got to talk to you. I got to try to make you see. 2 Everything's gonna be okay. Your friends aren't that far away. Anyway. Don't get so down on yourself. 3 You’d have a wonderful day, If you could see how lucky you are. 4

You always took your mistakes so hard. 5 You're watching yourself but you're too unfair.You got your head all tangled up but if I could only make you care. Oh no love! you're not alone. No matter what or who you've been. No matter when or where you've seen. All the knives seem to lacerate your brain. I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain. You're not alone. 6

It's all good, pop the bubbly, life is lovely. 7 It's never too late to try. What have you done today to make you feel proud? You could be so many people, If you make that break for freedom. 8

You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. 9 Just be yourself, Anyway that you want to. Just be yourself, Anyway that you can. 10 Somebody loves you, And you’re gonna make it through. 11 You are wonderful. You are beautiful. You are powerful. You have touched my soul. 12

Believe in yourself, Right from the start. Believe in the magic, Right there in your heart. Go ahead believe all these things, Not because I told you to, But believe in yourself. If you believe in yourself, Just believe in yourself, As I believe in you. 13
