Whether Im right
or whether Im wrong
Whether I find a place
in this world
or never belong
Ive gotta be me
Ive gotta be me
What else could I be
but what I am
I want to live
not merely survive
And I wont give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me I gotta be me
The dream that I see
makes me what I am
That far-away prize
a world of success
Is waiting for me
if I heed the call
I won't settle down
won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance
that I can have it all
I'll go it alone
that's how it should be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free I've gotta be free
Daring to try to do it or die
I've gotta be me
I won't settle down
won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance
that I can have it all
I'll go it alone
that's how it should be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free I just gotta be free
Daring to try to do it or die
I gotta be me
I gotta be me
I can't be right for somebody else
I gotta be me
I can't be right for somebody else
