🎶Be True, Be You is a production I wrote for “The Brontos” dinosaur blog. Time-traveling dinosaurs who discovered music.


[Intro – Raptor Rex – Spoken]
Alright now, dinos and kids, gather ‘round!
This one’s for anyone who ever felt down.
Ready, band? Let’s roll!

[Verse 1 – Raptor Rex]

I used to roar too loud, take up a lot of space,
Said I didn’t fit in, not the right time or place.
But I found my beat, now I sing out loud,
I was born to stand. Not just one in the crowd!

[Chorus – Whole Band]

🎵 Be true, be you, let your inner light shine,
Doesn’t matter where you’re from, your groove will be just fine.
Shake your tail, stomp your feet, play the tune real loud.
The world needs your rhythm, so be true, be you! 🎵

[Verse 2 – Groovaourus]

I rolled in smooth with my bass real slow,
Eyeballs rolled, comments slipped low,”
I didn’t argue, just let the groove fly,
Now I’m layin’ down tracks, shakin’ the sky!

[Bridge – T-Rhythm, softly strumming]
Some walk alone, some dance off-track,
But every true groove finds its way back.

[Final Chorus – Full Band with Harmony]

🎵 Be true, be you, don’t change your swag,
Make your own magic — just live your song.
Raise your head, roar out loud, let the world sing-along
A Bronto’s not afraid to… be true, be you! 🎵

[Outro – Drums fade out, soft keys from Tim]

💫 Stay groovy, little dinos. The jungle’s big — but so are you!
