"Find Yourself" is a closing song in Disney/Pixar's 2006 3D computer-animated film Cars. It is written and performed by Brad Paisley. It is, however, performed by pop singer Drew Seeley for Disneymania 5. The song is also dedicated to the memory of Joe Ranft, who died in a car accident at the age of 45 during the production of Cars on August 16, 2005, but released around one year before the film.

Brad Paisley:
When you find yourself in some far off place
And it causes you to rethink some things
You start to sense that slowly you're becoming someone else
And then you find yourself
When you make new friends in a brand new town
And you start to think about settling down
The things that would have been lost on you, are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself, yeah, that's when you find yourself
Well you go through life, so sure of where you're heading
And you wind up lost and it's the best thing that could happen
'Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's really just as well
'Cause you find yourself, yeah, that's when you find yourself
(instrumental)
When you meet the one that you've been waiting for
And she's everything that you want and more
You look at her and you finally start to live for someone else
And then you find yourself, yeah, that's when you find yourself
We go through life, so sure of where we're heading
And then we wind up lost and it's the best thing that could happen
Sometimes when you lose your way it's really just as well
Because you find yourself, yeah, that's when you find yourself
