Born to Be Me
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.
Now It's Clear, By Accepting Fate and Staying Here
I Might As Well Be Tied Up, Gagged and Bound
Get Away, I Must Go, That Doesn't Mean to Say
I'll Never Need You More Than I Do Now
But There's More to Life Than This
No Doubt, There'll Be no Free Handouts
But I Have to Findout
Where This World Will Lead
Some Men Are Born to Be Free
Some Men Are Handed a Key
But I Was Born to Be Me
Playing With Life and Death Is My Destiny
What Am I, If I Miss This Chance to Do Or Die
I've Nothing Much to Lose, Much More to Gain
I Have Pride, Pride Enough Not to Be Satisfied
Till I Am Something More Than Just a Name
I Might Even Rise to Fame
No Doubt, I Will Cry My Heart Out
Long Before I Find Out
What's in Store For Me
Some Men Are Born to Be Free
Some Men Are Handed a Key
But I Was Born to Be Me
I Leave My Heart in Charge of My Destiny.
