Who are you to look down
At what i believe?
I'm on to your thinking
And how you deceive
Well you can't abuse me;
I won't stand no more
Yes, i know the reasons
Yes, i know the score

I am
And i'll be
I will
You'll see
I am
And i'll be
I am: i'm me

How i tried to please you;
Live the way you said
Do the things that you do;
Like the living dead
Then the [bad word] it hit me;
Got me off my knees
It's my life i'm living;
I'll live as i please

Now's the time to stand tall
Start your life anew
Freedom lies in your heart
Now's the time for you
