about

Almost a year ago singer-songwriter Patrick Lerjen aka Silver Birch released his first song «Yourself» and it's been by far the one song, that everybody was most touched by. Now this troubled winter Lerjen decided to keep busy releasing a little series of live-acoustic-versions, along with a simple video of the performance. Yourself (Solo Version) is second song in this series. If possible, the song's gotten even more urgently in this no-frills setting of just one warm voice and an acoustic guitar.

lyrics

High up
I hold that mirror
It only shows
What you’re supposed to see

It‘s such a delicate job
To keep the odds in favor
Working hard
So you could fall for me

Let yourself feel
The way you did as a kid
Let them come
Right at you

Show your joy, your fear
Yeah, what you're made of
Be the sweet kid
You could have been

Yeah love yourself
You might be the only one around
Yeah everyone else
Is busy praising their own clown

This island‘s always been
A hidden gem
Advertised on all
The channels known

There‘s all one would ever need
A warm home and the church of love
It’s just that everyone’s already
An island on their own

Yeah, love yourself
You might be the only one around
Everyone else
Is busy praising their own clown

Yeah love yourself
Love yourself
Love yourself
Ohh, love yourself
