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 am told to do I'm not meant to be your property No, I belong to me If I want to reach for the stars You can't toll 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 chain me I will not obey I 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 crawling; I'm climbing 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 bird 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!
