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
|

I've Gotta Be Me
