Lyrics
Let Me Be Me Words and music by Connie Garrard - July 2011
Tension is building in my head
Pleasing everyone gets me down
Do I need to suffer silently?
For the sake of a cap and gown
Tears are falling down my face
What should I do next?
There's a price tag hanging over me
I'm feeling quite perplexed
Chorus Let me be me, let me be free
I could travel the world
Search for diamonds and pearls
And see what lies ahead
Let me be me, let me be free
Let me make some mistakes
Even if my heart aches
And sing to Lady Ga Ga
The University of Life is calling me
It gently whispers in the night
And tells me to be free
I'm driven by persistent words
Of an inner voice
I must be strong and do what's best
And give myself a choice
Chorus Let me be me etc.......
Ooh should I sing the blues?
Or paint the world through new eyes
Find a muse
I could earn a few nice
Dollars here and there
And live my life at ease
Without a care
Chorus Let me be me, let me be free
I could travel the world
Search for diamonds and pearls
And see what lies ahead
Let me be me, let me be free
I will hit the right notes
That will keep me afloat
And sing with Lady Ga Ga
Let me be me, let me be free
I will hit the right notes
That will keep me afloat
And sing with Lady Ga Ga
