The first of me

I must make a choice
A tough decision
Listen to my voice
Should I give in
To temptation, admiration
One leads to myself
The other someone else
Just an empty shell
Just an empty shell
It´s harder than it seems
When you´re told that
All your hopes and dreams
Are yours to hold if
You just give them
What´s expected
Something they can sell
Put upon a shelf
But I am not for sell
I am not for sell
[Chorus]
I hear a voice inside
It´s crowning to a scream
I´m not the next of them
I am the first of me
´cause I can live the lie
I am just what you see
I´m not the next of them
I am the first of me
If I can´t refuse
The price they offer
I am sure to lose
And I will suffer
Sell my soul to make a profit
All I have to do
Is make believe it´s true
That something I can´t do
That something I can´t do
[Chorus]
I am the first of meee ahouhou
I am the first of meee ahouhou
I am the first of me!
So when the waiting´s gone
This time to face the truth
You know you´re good enough
Deep down inside of you
You´re finally woken up
If only just to prove
You are born to lead the way
Then be the first of you
A tough decision
Listen to my voice
Should I give in
To temptation, admiration
One leads to myself
The other someone else
Just an empty shell
Just an empty shell
It´s harder than it seems
When you´re told that
All your hopes and dreams
Are yours to hold if
You just give them
What´s expected
Something they can sell
Put upon a shelf
But I am not for sell
I am not for sell
[Chorus]
I hear a voice inside
It´s crowning to a scream
I´m not the next of them
I am the first of me
´cause I can live the lie
I am just what you see
I´m not the next of them
I am the first of me
If I can´t refuse
The price they offer
I am sure to lose
And I will suffer
Sell my soul to make a profit
All I have to do
Is make believe it´s true
That something I can´t do
That something I can´t do
[Chorus]
I am the first of meee ahouhou
I am the first of meee ahouhou
I am the first of me!
So when the waiting´s gone
This time to face the truth
You know you´re good enough
Deep down inside of you
You´re finally woken up
If only just to prove
You are born to lead the way
Then be the first of you
