Whether I'm right
or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a
place in this world
or never belong
I gotta be me
I've gotta be me
What else can I be
but what I am
I want to live
not merely survive
And I won't
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 must 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'll go it alone
that's how it must 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
