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 faraway 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
