The Need to Be

To for-fill to need to be
 Who I am in this world
 Is all I ask
 I can't pretend to be something I'm not
 And I won't wear a mask
 You've touched my face with love in your eyes
 But will you touch my heart
 With the understanding that it takes to realize
 I just can't play a part
 There's the need to be true to myself
 And make my own mistakes
 And not to lean too hard on someone else
 No matter what it takes
 So if you're sure it's love
 Just be sure it's love
 For this thing called me
 'Cause I am what I am and
 I have the need to be
 I'm not fool enough to ever think
 That I could be the master of my fate
 But it's up to me to choose my roads in life
 Rocky may well be the ones I take
 There's the need to be something more than
 Just a reflection of a man
 I can't survive in someone's shadow
 I need my own spot to stand
 So if you're sure it's love
 Just be sure it's love
 For this thing called me
 I am what I am and
 I have the need to be
 So if you're sure it's love
 Just be sure it's love
 For this thing called me
 I am what I am and
 I have the need to be...
