I was raised by this town 
To believe the words they put inside me 
They made me hide 
Inside their loving arms around me 

I turned away 
I choose the path that I believe in 
I stand today 
Above the shady nights behind me 
I fear nothing 
But the fact that I’m afraid of everything 
I knew my name 
Would only be for lonely riding 

Choose to be me 
To be free to be my way 
I saw the light shining right in my eyes 
Choose to be me 
To be free to be my way 

Inside the night 
I write the lonely story of my life 
It makes me cry 
But I want to know it 'til last line 
I fear nothing 
But the fact that I’m afraid of everything 
Destiny – blow it away 
I’m made for lonely riding 

Choose to be me 
To be free to be my way 
I saw the light shining right in my eyes 
Choose to be me 
To be free to be my way 
With a smile on 
With a smile

Hey
Every day my sun keeps rising 
Giving me the strength that I need 
All the faith I need for only you and I 

Happiness is here with me 
It’s made for all the days I see 
Happiness is holding me around and round and round and round and round

I Choose to be me 
To be free to be my way 
I saw the light shining right in my eyes 
Choose to be me 
To be free to be my way 
With a smile on
With a smile

I Choose to be me 
To be free to be my way 
I saw the light shining right in my eyes 
Choose to be me 
To be free to be my way 

With a smile on
With a smile on
