We?re each born into this world
With a blueprint in our minds
That tells us who we?re gonna be
From now until the end of our time

But each day brings with it change
And a brand new set of rules
And we have to redraw every page
Of the blueprints that we knew

And I don?t have to tell you
How strange it can be to look back
On the not yet shapen ball of clay
That you were back in your past

Because we are who are
And we?ll be who we?ll be
And we?ve got to learn to accept ourselves
Eventually
And we are who we are
And we?ll be who we?ll be
And we?ve got to learn to love ourselves
Eventually

The only person that you?ll know forever
Is the one inside your head
So instead of always thinkin? thoughts of hate and fear
Why don?t you learn to be your friend

Forget the dead you?ve left behind
And forget the dreams that passed
Cause what?s done is done and what?s to come is coming
And it?s time to live at last

And we always try to fool ourselves
Into thinking things won?t change
But that?s the way of life
And we?re a part of it
And do to this I do proclaim

That we are who are
And we?ll be who we?ll be
And we?ve got to learn to accept ourselves
Eventually
And we are who we are
And we?ll be who we?ll be
And we?ve got to learn to love ourselves
Eventually
