Lyrics
For years I struggled, trying to fit in, anywhere I could belong
I bended who I was, just to join in, but it always felt wrong
I was unhappy, couldn?t be me - so I went in search of my soul, my soul
I said ?enough of belonging, enough of conforming!? I had to take back control!
Cause I made some big mistakes when I wasn?t real true to me
But now I am finally free cause -
I Dare to be different - do you know what I mean?
Dare to be different - that?s right!
I dare to be different
I dare to be different
Everyone told me how I should live - they always believed just like them
But I had my own thoughts and I had my own plans - I knew I couldn?t give in
I wasn?t happy, couldn?t be me - so I went in search of my soul, my soul
I said ?enough of belonging, enough of conforming!? I had to take back control!
Cause I made some big mistakes when I wasn?t real true to me
Oh but now I am finally free -
I Dare to be different - do you know what I mean?
Dare to be different - that?s right!
I dare to be different
I dare to be different.
Cause even if your friends don?t understand,
there comes that time when you must take a chance
And finally learn to set yourself free,
just being who you want to be and...
(repeat chorus)
You only have one life to live now,
You only have one life to live!
Dare to be different.
