WHO ARE YOU TO LOOK DOWN
AT WHAT I BELIEVE?
I'M ON TO YOUR THINKING
AND HOW YOU DECEIVE
WELL YOU CAN'T ABUSE ME;
I WON'T STAND NO MORE
YES, I KNOW THE REASONS
YES, I KNOW THE SCORE

I AM
AND I'LL BE
I WILL
YOU'LL SEE
I AM
AND I'LL BE
I AM: I'M ME

HOW I TRIED TO PLEASE YOU;
LIVE THE WAY YOU SAID
DO THE THINGS THAT YOU DO;
LIKE THE LIVING DEAD
THEN THE TRUTH IT HIT ME;
GOT ME OFF MY KNEES
IT'S MY LIFE I'M LIVING;
I'LL LIVE AS I PLEASE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

NOW'S THE TIME TO STAND TALL
START YOUR LIFE ANEW
FREEDOM LIES IN YOUR HEART
NOW'S THE TIME FOR YOU

(REPEAT CHORUS)
