Watched the latest episode of Glee and this song was performed by one of the main characters.. It was an episode about acceptance.. accepting our flaws, our quirks and everything else that is "US" (no, I don't mean USA).. it is something that is very close to my heart.. something that I've been struggling with since young..
This song was first sung by Sammy Davis Jr. I've heard both version, and I preferred the version from Glee as it was more upbeat and "sounded" more fun..
I've Gotta Be Me
written by MARKS, WALTER
Whether I’m right, whether I’m wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I’ve 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’ve gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am
That faraway prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won’t settle down or settle for less
As long as there’s half 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’ve gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me
Daring to try to do it or die, I’ve gotta be me
I can’t be right for somebody else if I’m not right for me
I’ve gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me
Daring to try to do it or die,
I’ve gotta be me
Have a great week ahead! Stay safe and cheery!!! :)
