FINALLY I CAN SEE ALL I USED TO KNOW
I WAS LIVING IN SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM
NOW IF I DARE I CAN THROW IT ALL AWAY
AND DECIDE TO DISREGARD ALL THAT THEY SAY

I'M ONLY ME - JUST WHAT YOU SEE
I'LL NEVER BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
I REALLY THINK IT'S TIME I GO MY WAY
YOU'LL NEVER STAND FOR WHAT I AM
I CAN'T PRETEND AND IF IT MEANS THE END WELL
NOTHING TAKES THE PLACE OF BEING FREE

IT TOOK ME SOME TIME - NOW I'M LEAVING IT BEHIND
AND I'M FEELING GOOD ABOUT MY DESTINY
IF I DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO FIND MY OWN PEACE OF MIND
THEN I'LL NEVER HAVE THE JOY TO KNOW IT'S MINE

I'M FEELING FREE - IT'S MEANT TO BE
NO WAY THAT SOMEONE CAN TAKE IT FROM ME
I'M LETTING GO TO FEEL GOOD NATURALLY
I'VE CROSSED THE LINE - I'M FEELING FINE
I'M LETTING IN A BRAND NEW SUNSHINE
NOTHING TAKES THE PLACE OF BEING FREE

CAN'T SAY THAT I WANT TO BE LEFT ON MY OWN
I'M A SOCIAL CREATURE JUST LIKE YOU
I'M NOT GONNA TAKE MORE THAN MY SHARE OF THE SPACE
BUT I NEED A WHOLE LOT MORE TO GET ME THROUGH

LOOK AT ME NOW- BUT DON'T TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
I DON'T NEED NO ONE TO TELL ME WHAT TO BE
I'M FINDING OUT NOW WHAT I'M NEEDING TO BE FREE
AND I'M CASTING ALL THE DEMONS OUT OF ME

I'M ONLY ME - JUST WHAT YOU SEE
I'LL NEVER BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
I REALLY THINK ITS TIME I GO MY WAY
YOU'LL NEVER STAND FOR WHAT I AM
I CAN'T PRETEND AND IF IT MEANS THE END WELL
NOTHING TAKES THE PLACE OF BEING FREE
YEAH NOTHING TAKES THE PLACE OF BEING FREE
