I've Gotta Be Me

Whether I'm right, 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 faraway 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 half 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 me, I've gotta be me
 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 me, I've gotta be me
 Daring to try to do it or die,
 I've gotta be me
 I've gotta be me
