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've gotta be me

I want to live, not merely survive
And I won’t give up on this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
What else could I be but what I am
Yeah, I gotta be me

I say: ah, ah, oh eh, eh
I gotta be me-e, oh eh, eh (x2)
I gotta be
I say: I gotta be
Oh eh, eh, Oh eh, eh
I gotta be me-e, Oh eh, eh (x2)
I gotta be, I gotta be

I've gotta be me (x2)
What else could I be but who I am
