Got to Be Me

[Chorus]
I've gotta be free
I've got to have roots stronger than the trees
I've gotta be good
As everyone should
But most of all, yeah
I've just got to be me
(I've just gotta be me)
I've just gotta be me
(I've just gotta be me)
I've just got to be me
(I've just gotta be me)
I've just gotta be me
(I've just gotta be me)
(I've just got to be)

[Verse 1]
I can't be all things to all men
All the time
Evеry night
My feet only fit one size of shoe so what's thе use in squeezing
Haven't you heard that
You only get one of deez time
Rush is the dance to the morning light
Times all that I got in the [?]
So, each day I strive to be keeping bold
Embrace the warmth and brush of the cold
I'm gettin older so I been told
All my minds on is getting involved
Some left us younger with still little kids
Some left us older with wrinkled eyelids
All that I know there's a life to be lived
Nobody can live it for me

[Chorus]
I've gotta be free
I've got to have roots stronger than the trees
I've gotta be good
As everyone should
But most of all, yeah
I've just got to be me
(I've just gotta be me)
I've just gotta be me
(I've just gotta be me)
I've just got to be me
(I've just gotta be me)
I've just gotta be me
(I've just gotta be me)
(I've just got to be)

[Verse 2]
All that I wanted to see your face
So what do you say
I've lost some friends on the way
So, id rather do it today
You know
I've had a couple go's [?]
In my body there's barely a bad bone
I'm tryna keep life gold
You make me smile from cheek to cheek
Come as you are when you come to me
It is so easy with you to be me
And I know, sometimes I anit easy to read
But try know I easy to reach
Whenever you need me

[Chorus]
I've gotta be free
I've got to have roots stronger than the trees
I've gotta be good
As everyone should
But most of all, yeah
I've just got to be me
(I've just gotta be me)
I've just gotta be me
(I've just gotta be me)
I've just got to be me
(I've just gotta be me)
I've just gotta be me
(I've just gotta be me)
(I've just got to be)

[Bridge]
I've gotta be free
I've got to have roots stronger than the trees
I've gotta be good
As everyone should
But most of all, yeah
I've just got to be me

[Chorus]
I've gotta be free
I've got to have roots stronger than the trees
I've gotta be good
As everyone should
But most of all, yeah
I've just got to be me
(I've just gotta be me)
I've just gotta be me
(I've just gotta be me)
I've just got to be me
(I've just gotta be me)
I've just gotta be me
(I've just gotta be me)
(I've just got to be)
