True to Myself

We used to be the ones
Who cried out loud and clear
We took any risk to keep our direction
A generation reaching for a new frontier
We never gave in to a world of rejection

Days gone by few still remember
But I can't forget the passion

I've got to be true to myself
To the things that I believe
Well, you can take me to the wall
But you can't make me live a lie

Underneath the weight
Of silent social fear
Expression is drowning
In shallow waters
We keep to ourselves
And slowly disappear
And nothing is left
To our sons and our daughters

Heaven knows
My conscience drives me
To only one conclusion:

I've got to be true to myself
To the things that I believe
Well, you can take me to the wall
But you can't make me live a lie
Got to be true to myself
Oh, to the way I live and breathe
You can take me to the wall

Heaven knows
My conscience drives me
To only one conclusion:

I've got to be true to myself
To the things that I believe
You can take me to the wall
But you can't make me live a lie
Got to be true to myself
Oh, to the way I live and breathe
Oh, you can take me
Take me to the wall
But you can't make me live a lie...
