I will not follow you, na na na na na, to thine own self be true.
I will not follow you, to thine own self be true,
I will not follow you, to thine own self be true,
I will not follow you, to thine own self be true,
I will not follow you, to thine own self be true,
Na na na na na
Living the life I want to live,
Creating every moment,
Choosing a life full of blessings,
Living the life I want to live.
I will not follow you to your shallows,
I will not follow you to your depths.
My heart it beckons me to surrender,
My heart it beckons me to my own path.
I will not follow you to your shallows,
I will not follow you to your depths.
My heart it beckons me to surrender,
I will just follow,
Spirit will guide me there,
Spirit will guide me there.
To my new self from my old ways
With a true breath, plus two steps,
to get you to where I can see you best.
The whole page of the story.
Loosen the tight grip for more light, no eclipse,
And highlight our sequence,
from the deepest depths I’ll rescue,
And let you live as best you can,
Just know I’ll be where you stand,
Rooted like an oak tree and I’ll extend my limbs.
It’s just a message to send around yourself and back again,
around a strike your light to bend, in a time with no end.
Each present moment passes, I can tap into how I’m feeling,
Watch my shadow dance around me like a sundial standing still.
Let your spirit roam, so you can go into the wilderness
and be one with yourself, and then rebuild like a pyramid.
And if I follow guidance from you,
just know I’ll be right beside you.
