Lyrics
For Myself
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
For myself
I must learn for myself
Not from what someone else
Has said or done
And so I live my life
From day to day
Try to smile
While feeling my way
Just like a child
For myself
I must learn for myself
The future that some else
May say will come
May never be
What destiny holds for me
Let me see
For myself!
