| I've Gotta Be Me Copyright Alice E. Steimle - 2003 |
 |
| Whether I'm right, or whether I'm wrong Whether I find a place in this world I know that I must continue to be strong Because then I had the final word I've heard that folks are in pain They say they just need to live They've cried out to the world again Yet they're happy for they can forgive |
 |
| I want to live, not merely survive I won't stand for somebody who cheats nor lies I won't give up easily, yet sometimes I can't stay alive I can live in pain, but you'll never hear my cries I've gotta be me, and continue on my way I need to go slowly, I want to be free God has blessed me and kept me here today That's why you can see I've gotta be me |
