Choose to Be Me

I was raised by this town

To believe the words they put inside me

They made me hide

Inside their loving arms around me

I turned away

I choose the path that I believe in

I stand today

Above the shady nights behind me

I fear nothing

But the fact that I'm afraid of everything

I knew my name

Would only be for lonely ridin'

Choose to be me, to be free

To be my way

I saw the light shining right in my eyes

Choose to be me, to be free

To be my way

Inside the night

I write the lonely story of my life

It makes me cry

But I want to know it 'til the last line

I fear nothing

But the fact that I'm afraid of everything

Destiny, blow it away

I am made for lonely ridin'

Choose to be me, to be free

To be my way

I saw the light shining right in my eyes

Choose to be me, to be free

To be my way

With a smile on

With a smile, hey

Everyday my sun keeps rising

Giving me the strength that I need

All the faith I need for only you and I

Happiness is here with me

It's made for all the days I see

And happiness is holding me around

And round and round and round and round

I choose to be me, to be free

To be my way

I saw the light shining right in my eyes

Choose to be me, to be free

To be my way

With a smile on

With a smile

I choose to be me, to be free

To be my way

I saw the light shining right in my eyes

Choose to be me, to be free

To be my way

(With a smile on)
