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 can't give up this dream

That keeps me alive

I've gotta be me

I've gotta be me

This dream that I see

It 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

I can have it all

I'll go it alone that's how it must be

As I know I can't be right for somebody else

If I'm not right for me

I've gotta be afraid

I've gotta be afraid

Daring to try do it or die

I've gotta be me

That faraway prize a world of success

I know it's 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

I can have it all

I find a own room it's so strange

And I can't be right for somebody else

If I'm not right for me

I've gotta be afraid

I've gotta be afraid

Daring to try do it or die

I've gotta be me
