I've Gotta Be Me
Embracing Individuality: The Anthem of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Expressing uncertainty about being correct or fitting in.
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
Questioning if there's a place in the world or a sense of belonging.
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
Emphasizing the need to be true to oneself.
What else can I be but what I am
Acknowledging the inevitability of being oneself.
I want to live, not merely survive
Desire to live a fulfilling life, not just survive.
And I won't give up this dream
Determined to pursue a dream that gives life meaning.
Of life that keeps me alive
Expressing the importance of a fulfilling life.
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
Reiterating the imperative to be authentic.
The dream that I see makes me what I am
Linking the dream to personal identity.
That far-away prize, a world of success
Referring to a distant goal, possibly fame or success.
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
Indicating the opportunity for success if one answers the call.
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
Rejecting the idea of settling for less.
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all
Optimism about the possibility of achieving everything.
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
Choosing to pursue goals independently.
I can't be right for somebody else
Acknowledging the need to be right for oneself before others.
If I'm not right for me
Emphasizing the importance of personal alignment.
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Expressing a desire for freedom and autonomy.
Daring to try, to do it or die
Embracing courage to take risks and face challenges.
I've gotta be me
Reiterating the need to be true to oneself.
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
Repeating the theme of independent pursuit of goals.
I can't be right for somebody else
Reiterating the importance of personal alignment.
If I'm not right for me
Highlighting the necessity of being right for oneself.
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Reaffirming the desire for freedom and autonomy.
Daring to try, to do it or die
Encouraging bravery to attempt and overcome challenges.
I gotta be me
Restating the imperative to be true to oneself.
