Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong Whether I find a place in this world or never belong I've 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 won't give up this dream of life that keeps me alive I've gotta be me - I've gotta be me The dream that I see makes 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've 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've gotta be free - I've gotta be free Daring to try to do it or die, I've gotta be me.
