Lyrics:
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, won't 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
