EN
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 I 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 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 or 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 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
