Verse 1
I don’t wanna be a prime minister
I don’t wanna be a cult leader
I don’t wanna a teenage idol
I just wanna be me.
Verse 2
I don’t wanna be governed by others
I don’t wanna get stuck in a rut
I don’t wanna be tied down
I just wanna be me and I wanna be
Free!
Chorus
Freedom! So I’m free to be me
Freedom! To do what I please
Freedom! Free from routine
I want my life to be governed by dreams.
Verse 3
I don’t want the world to run my life
I don’t wanna meet expectations
I don’t wanna rely on anybody
I just wanna be me and I wanna be
Free!
Chorus
Freedom! So I’m free to be me
Freedom! To do what I please
Freedom! Free from routine
I want my life to be governed by dreams.
Verse 4
I don’t wanna have to work hard forever
But I’m prepared to work for reward
I don’t wanna live a life unchanged
I want creativity.
Chorus
Freedom! So I’m free to be me
Freedom! To do what I please
Freedom! Free from routine
I want my life to be governed by dreams.
Verse 5
I don’t want more money than time
I don’t want control over anyone’s life
I don’t even wish to be clever
I just wanna be me and I wanna be
Free!
Chorus
Freedom! So I’m free to be me
Freedom! To do what I please
Freedom! Free from routine
I want my life to be governed by dreams.
