Oh, what your doin' to this town?
Don't you know that everybody here
Wants to be like you
All of your adoring fans
Sittin' in the seats and stands
Listening to every word you say
And watchin' every move
Once I saw a sign that said
'Billy Brown for President'
(It ain't easy)
Bein' a star
(It ain't easy)
To be who you are
(It ain't easy)
But you're goin' far
Well, you say, "There's nothin' to it"
But somebody's gotta do it, boy

You point your finger to the skies?

To be who you are
