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
