I Got to Be Me

How you gonna love someone
When you can't even love yourself?
How you gonna find a home
When you're always somewhere else?

Mother Mary, every Sunday, harder to survive
Mother Mary helped me find my way to be alive

I got to be me, I got to be wild
I got to be a little crazy
I got to be me, I got to be true
There's nobody else I can be
If I can be me, you can be you
We could be everybody
Looking for the reasons for love

How are you gonna save the world
When you can't walk on solid ground?
How are you gonna hear your song
When your heart can't make a sound?

Mother Mary, every Sunday, harder to survive
Mother Mary help me, Mary, how to be alive

I got to be me, I got to be wild
I got to be a little crazy
I got to be me, I got to be true
There's nobody else I can be
If I can be me, you can be you
We could be everybody
Looking for the reasons for love
'Cause what I am is more than enough

Say I love you, say I love you
Say I love you, say I love you
Say I love you, say I love you
'Cause when I love you like I love you

I got to be me, got to be free
I got to be a little crazy
Got to be me, I got to be true
There's nobody else I can be
If I can be me, then you can be you
We could be everybody, everybody
I got to be me, got to be wild
I got to be a little crazy
Got to be me, I got to be true
There's nobody else I can be
If I can be me, then you can be you
We could be everybody
Looking for the reasons for love
What we are is more than enough

How are you gonna love someone
When you can't even love yourself?
