My Cover Song "Be yourself" by Audioslave

Audioslave is one of my favorite bands. I cover the song Be yourself to remember Chris Cornell, because I was amazed to see Chris Cornell on youtube singing this song only using acoustic guitar.

Thanks to @luzcypher & @pfunk for managing this amazing challenge. Special thanks to all judges: @passion-ground @soundlegion @krystle @verbal-d.

Lyrics

Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
To finally drift away

Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
And catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave

And to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays

Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?

And to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright

You may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do
