Popmonster Lyrics: Only One You

When you're a young man
you know just who you are
You think you're gonna be
what you love with all your heart
But years go by and dear things
seem to fade
And somewhere along the line
we all make a trade

Now it seems like everybody
wants to put their face
In front of all the billion eyes
in cyberspace
Everyone's clawing and scratching
for the top
Might seem like it's a good excuse
to stop

But you were made to play a part
and you've got God's fingerprint on your heart

It's hard to believe
but Baby, it's true
in this great big world
there's only one you
so dream what you dream
and do what you do
in this great big world
there's only one you

There's a thing called hope
and you better let it fill your sails
'Cause plenty of people will tell you
that you're gonna fail
Gather around you everybody
that you love
'Cause a friend on earth is really
something from above

And you were made to play a part
and you've got God's fingerprint on your heart

It might sound quaint
but Baby, it's true
in this great big world
there's only one you
so dream what you dream
and do what you do
in this great big world
there's only one you

with thanks to author Ray Bradbury
