Whatever I need to be
In the mirror every morning, I see a face of dreams,
A heart full of wander, bursting at the seams.
I'm a rolling stone on this winding road,
Chasing the horizon, carrying my load.
I need to be strong, I need to be wise,
Need to be the truth in a world of lies.
I need to be the light when the night falls deep,
I need to be the promise that I intend to keep.
I've worn many hats, played many parts,
Sang with the joyous, danced with broken hearts.
But through every role, I've come to see,
The only thing I need to be is me.
I need to be brave, I need to be kind,
Need to be the vision when the world's gone blind.
I need to be the hope when doubts arise,
I need to be the love that never dies.
Like a river flows to the open sea,
I'll keep moving on to where I need to be.
With every step, I'll find my way,
To be the man I'm meant to be, come what may.
So here's to the dreamers, reaching for the stars,
To the healers, the believers, bearing their scars.
We're all on a journey, finding our place,
In this grand old tale, the human race.
We need to be strong, we need to be wise,
Need to be the truth in a world of lies.
We need to be the light when the night falls deep,
We need to be the promise that we intend to keep.
So when you're feeling lost, and you're in too deep,
Remember the strength, the promises you keep.
For whatever you need to be, you'll find inside,
In the heart of a cowboy, where the truest selves reside.
This captures the essence of striving to be the best version of oneself, with a nod to the cowboy spirit of resilience and hope that you seem to appreciate.
