You Can Only Be You - Tina Desai & John Hasler/Thomas & Friends
Every engine that I ever knew
Was at least a little different from the others
And somewhere very very different too
Even from their sisters and their brothers
You can only be you
There's nothing else you can possibly do
It's clear to me that you're trying too hard
So instead just be who you are
I don't wanna be me
You wish you could be
Faster bigger stronger
You wish you could have more
Than six small wheels
You think if you were just a little longer
You'd have more railway show appears
Of course
Every bit of me is short and stumpy
My funnel and my boiler and my dome
Can't you see my paintwork's old and frampy
That's why I'll be the one who's left at home
Why do I have to be me
Is this what I'm really meant to be
Break me shake me
Take me all apart
They has to be a
Better place to start
Every bit of
You is neat and tidy
There's nothing that you
Need to rearrange
If you ask me
You're completely bona-fide
What makes you think there's anything to change
Why do I have to be me
Is this what I'm really meant to be
Calm down be quiet
You know in your heart
There really isn't any other place to start
Why do I have to be me you can only be you
Is this what I'm really meant to be
There's nothing else you can do
Shake me break me
Take me all apart
And find a better place to start
You don't have to try
Just be who you are
And trust you six small wheels to take you far
