Текст песни I Gotta Be Me - Steve Lawrence

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
