The Best Way to Be
by Carrie Ferguson

I woke up this morning
With a voice in my head
I could tell you all the things
That that little voice said

Some of it was friendly
Some was just mean
Some was just “blah blah blah”
In between

So I went to the mirror
Smiled back at my face
Said to myself
“This is my place”

And I’m not afraid
To be me
Cuz I’m the only one
That I know how to be
And it’s plain
To see
That the best way to be
Is to just be me

Brushed up on my teeth
Put on my red suit
My favorite stripey socks
And my sparkly boots

Went to the kitchen
PB and J
I fed the cat
Then I was on my way

And as I went out the door
I did a little dance
Cuz I’m so glad just to
Get the chance

To be me
Yeah, me
Cuz I’m the only one
That I want to be
And it’s plain
To see
That the best way to be
Is to just be me

I can be big
And roaring like a lion
Or furry and purry
Like a cat
When things get hard
I keep on trying
Unless I’ve just had
Enough of that

And I’m not afraid
To be me
Cuz I’m the only one
That I know how to be
And it’s plain
To see
That the best way to be
Is to just be me

Yeah, me
Cuz I’m the only one
That I want to be
And it’s plain
To see
That the best way to be
Is to just be me

Carrie Ferguson Northampton, Massachusetts

Carrie grew up playing an enormous upright, chocolate-brown piano. It had a darkly booming, slightly furry quality to it, like the weather in her hometown of Arcata on the North Coast of California. Ferguson credits its sonorous voice, combined with the perpetual fog and clamminess as instilling in her the baseline aesthetic of melancholic optimism that permeates her words and music today. ... more
