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
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 just gotta be free
Daring to try  to do it or die

I gotta be me
