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've gotta be me
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
What else can I be but what I am
Yeah, I've gotta be me
(music)
I say yeah, oh yeah yeah
I've gotta be me
oh yeah yeah
I've gotta be me
oh yeah yeah
I've gotta be
I say yeah,
I've gotta be
oh yeah yeah
oh yeah yeah
I've gotta be me
oh yeah yeah
I've gotta be me
oh yeah yeah
I've gotta be
I've gotta be
I've gotta be me
I've gotta be me
What else could I be but who I am
I've gotta be me
