I Belong To Me

I will not give up my own self

Just to be with you

I will not be glad just to do

What I'm told to do

I'm not meant to be your property

No, I belong I me

If I want to reach for the stars

You can't hold me back

I want to take chances

Far off from the beaten track

Don't force me to be what I can't be

I belong to me

If you try to tame me

I will not obey

I'd rather leave you alone

If you try to change me

I must break away

To be what I am on my own

I'm freezing, I'm burning

I live without compromise

I'm growing, I'm learning

I'm ready to pay the price

I know it's not easy to be free

But I belong to me

I hate to be burdened

With duties that I despise

You know I can't stand

To be watched by a thousand eyes

I flee from the crowd in agony

I just belong to me

If you want to keep me

Don't hold me so tight

I can't give my life for your love

If you want to break me

I'll not even fight

I'll just fly away like a dove

I'm here when you need me

I live and I die with you

I'll share all your troubles

I'll laugh and I'll cry with you

You can blame me and bless me

But you cannot possess me

'Cause I belong to me

To me!
