Lyrics

I've got to seek my very own fortune
I've got to find my very own way
I've got to solve my very own problems today
I've got to chase me my very own rainbow
I've got to plot and plan every play
I've got to find me my very own dragon display
No more "Yes, sir, no, sir"
"No, sir", not for me
I'll just change my style
In a little while, I'll be free
I've got to find my very own valley
Quiet and peaceful, and out of the way
I've got to be my very own person today
No more "Yes, sir, no, sir"
"No, sir", not for me
I'll just change my style
In a little while, I'll be free
I'll be free
I've got to find my very own valley
Quiet and peaceful, and out of the way
I've got to be my very own person today
I've got to be my very own person today
I've got to be my very own person today
Written by: Gene DiNovi, Spence Maxwell
