I was afraid to be me Be anyone you want to be Be anyone you want to be I don’t blame my week For my not being able to speak Clearly about things I’ve said before

And if it’s light outside night will fall Night will fall And if it’s life it resolves It resolves

Everywhere you are in a maze is a lie Anywhere you are on a page you still go to the right Anytime there’s no ground below you you’re in the sky Anytime you’re afraid it’s gonna be alright It’s gonna be alright

I was a flame in the night I heard what I wanted to hear And the moment I disappeared I grew the size of all outside Cuz I I became one with the night And if it’s real it’s not all It’s not all there is There’s a lot in what appears not to be there at all And you can function as someone besides who you are

A song called "Ricky", written by John Frusciante, which Wikipedia says "was inspired by Ricky Nelson".

"Most of the time, yeah. I feel good!"

- Ricky's answer when someone asked him if he feels sexy, after being voted Playgirl's "Sexiest Man Alive" ... lol!
