Lyrics

You know I’ve got my pride
You know it runs in the family
And you can not hide
I’ll save the world from chaos
And you know it’s true
I’m gonna save you too

All the others can try
But they can’t even think about it
And I can not lie
I’ll bring the endless fire
And you know it’s true
You’re gonna feel it too
And you know it’s true
You’re gonna feel it too

They said I had to be you but I know I can only be me
I’ll turn impossible to possible go ahead and watch me
I’m not what you think cause I’ve got to be me
That’s right I’m Free
I’m free to be me

Get out of my way
I have a lasting legacy
It’s time that you paid
For all the pain and sorrow
And you know it’s true
You’re gonna feel it too
And you know it’s true
You’re gonna feel it too

They said I had to be you but I know I can only be me
I’ll turn impossible to possible go ahead and watch me
I’m not what you think cause I’ve got to be me
That’s right I’m Free
I’m free to be me

I’m free to be me

They said I had to be you but I know I can only be me
I’ll turn impossible to possible go ahead and watch me
I’m not what you think cause I’ve got to be me
That’s right I’m Free
I’m free to be me

They said I had to be you but I know I can only be me
I’ll turn impossible to possible go ahead and watch me
I’m not what you think cause I’ve got to be me
That’s right I’m Free
I’m free to be me
