Artist/Band: Tom T. Hall
Lyrics for Song: That's Why You Have to Be You
Lyrics for Album: Saturday Morning Songs [RCA Victor] [1979]



You know you can't live in the water you'd just be wet all the time

Your hands would get wrinkled your face would turn blue

And you'd wind up on somebody's line

That's why you can't be a fish water is not what you do

That's why you can't be a fish, that's why you have to be you.



You know you can't live in the air why you'd be in the clouds all the time

You'd get dizzy from being so high and you must have wings if you fly

So that's why you can't be a bird flying is not what you do

That's why you can't be a bird, that's why you have to be you.



You know you can't live in a tree for one thing the trees're too tall

There's nothing to eat in a tree and there's always a chance you could fall

That's why you can't be a squirrel climbing is not what you do

That's why you can't be a squirrel, that's why you have to be you.



But it's okay to be you just being yourself you'll go far

It's really okay to be you, I love you the way you are (ain't we great...)
