Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I 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 gotta be me, I 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 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 gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me

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 gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me

3. I've gone it alone and I've dared to try

I haven't gotten too far as far as getting rich goes, but I do feel like an expert on life now. Feel free to take chances and make mistakes. At the very least you won't be lying on your death bed one day wondering "What if?"

[Book Lover]

4. That is exactly my thinking

No more "What if?"s for me anymore. If I can't reach something I want to achieve, it will no longer be for lack of trying. If I can't be what others want me to be (unless it is to be a more moral person) then that is their problem, not mine.

5. Kick

because I'm not going to be here in 8 minutes...
