Sammy Davis, Jr-I`ve Gotta Be Me lyrics

Whether I`m right or whether I`m wrong   
 
  
 Whether I find a place in  
 this world or never belong   
 
  
 I gotta be me,  
 I`ve gotta be me   
 
  
 What else can I  
 be but what I am  
 
  
 
  
 I want to live, not merely survive   
 
  
 And I won`t give up this dream   
 
  
 Of life that keeps me alive   
 
  
 I gotta be me,  
 I gotta be me   
 
  
 The dream that I see  
 makes me what I am   
 
  
 
  
 That far-away prize, a world of success   
 
  
 Is waiting for me if  
 I heed the call   
 
  
 I won`t settle down,  
 won`t settle for less   
 
  
 As long as there`s a chance  
 that I can have it all   
 
  
 
  
 I`ll go it alone, that`s  
 how it must be   
 
  
 I can`t be right for somebody else   
 
  
 If I`m not right for me   
 
  
 I gotta be free,  
 I`ve gotta be free   
 
  
 Daring to try, to  
 do it or die   
 
  
 I`ve gotta be me   
 
  
 
  
 I`ll go it alone, that`s  
 how it must be   
 
  
 I can`t be right for somebody else   
 
  
 If I`m not right for me   
 
  
 I gotta be free, I  
 just gotta be free   
 
  
 Daring to try, to  
 do it or die   
 
  
 I gotta be me
