Me

When I was young when I was young
I knew that I could be someone
Oh I had dreams I had dreams I had dreams
They were all slowly dying so it seemed

You can catch me in the backstreets of the city
you can find me on a stage somewhere in town
Oh you won't catch me quitting
That ain't in my blood
I'll lace up my boots and rise above

I don't need nobody else to hold my hand
I don't need no podium to make my stand
People talk and I don't listen
They spend their days reminiscing
My eye's set on what's tomorrow
I won't wallow in your sorrow
All I really need
What I need is me

When I was free when I was free
There wasn't any hurt for me to see
Oh I've seen pain I've seen pain I've seen pain baby
There won't be no looking back for me
I would rather seize the day than waste another night
I would rather die than to go down without a fight
I don't know where I went wrong but I know one thing
I can make it right

I don't need nobody else to hold my hand
I don't need no podium to make my stand
People talk and I don't listen
They spend their days reminiscing
My eye's set on what's tomorrow
I won't wallow in your sorrow
All I really need
What I need is me

I don't need your worthless money
I don't need your sympathy
I don't need your record deal
I don't need your pitty
I don't need your sound advise
I don't need your expertise
I don't need some stupid prize
I don't need your art degree
Oh no

Oh I don't need nobody else to hold my hand
I don't need no podium to make my stand
People talk and I don't listen
They spend their days reminiscing
My eye's set on what's tomorrow
I won't wallow in your sorrow
All I really need
What I need is me
All I really need
What I need is me
