I always stood behind you, always close 
 Stood by your side, no matter what the cost 
 And I always was there for you when you called 
 Should I live all my life for only your cause? 

What about my life? What about my dreams? 
 What about how I feel? What about my needs? 
 I can’t hold back, I can’t go back, I must be free 
 What about how I feel? What about my life? 

Now, please don’t take this lightly, I must grow 
 No need to think it over, take it slow 
 I know I’m safe in your arms, but believe 
 I can’t hold back, tears always rising in me 

What about my life? What about my dreams? 
 What about how I feel? What about my needs? 
 I can’t hold back, I can’t go back, I must be free 
 What about how I feel? What about my life? 

(I can’t hold back no more) 
 (I can’t hold back no more) 

I always was there for you when you called 
 Should I live all my life for only your cause? 
 You see the part of me that belongs to me much more 
 I gotta go my way, wanna be set free 

What about my life? What about my dreams? 
 What about how I feel? What about my needs? 
 I can’t hold back, I can’t go back, I must be free 
 What about how I feel? What about my life? 

(I can’t hold back) Gonna live my dreams 
 (I won’t go back) Oh, my dreams 
 (I need to be all I can be) Gonna live my life 
 (I can’t hold back) Can’t go back 
 (I won’t go back) I must be free 
 (I need to be all I can be) What about my dreams?
