Fatherly Advice | Stan Morrison

I copied everyone I thought was cool
Until I allowed me to be myself
I wasn’t as cool as my illusions
Not as brave as I credited others

Find out what’s true for yourself
You’re bound to save a lot of time
Say good-bye to NOT AS GOOD AS
Any measure must be your own

If there is a final reckoning
Copycats never look the same
Better to cash in on an original
YOU ARE YOU always prevails
