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!
