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
