I’ll Be Me

[Verse One]
I'll never be a boxer or the leader of a nation;
I'll never have an American high school education;
I'll never be a child star on the movie screen;
I'll never be Elvis living in a dream

[Chorus]
But I'll be me better than you today

[Verse Two]
I'll never be a president or a politician;
I'll never be a doctor
I'll never be a magician
I'll never be the first man to walk up on the moon;
I'll never be a rock star who died way too soon

[Chorus]
But I'll be me better than you today

[Bridge]
I wake up my mind again
Pleased to see
And turn away
And find another place to stay

[Verse Three]
I'll never be a criminal in my teenage years;
I'll never be a race driver holding onto fears;
I'll never be a mother
And I'll never marry young;
I'll never be you
And I'll never be the one

[Outro]
But I'll be me better than you today
I'll be me better than you
