I'll Be Me

[Verse One]

I'll never be a boxer or the leader of a nation;

I'll never have an American high school education;

I'll never be a child star on the movie screen;

I'll never be Elvis living in a dream

[Chorus]

But I'll be me better than you today

[Verse Two]

I'll never be a president or a politician;

I'll never be a doctor

I'll never be a magician

I'll never be the first man to walk up on the moon;

I'll never be a rock star who died way too soon

[Chorus]

But I'll be me better than you today

[Bridge]

I wake up my mind again

Pleased to see

And turn away

And find another place to stay

[Verse Three]

I'll never be a criminal in my teenage years;

I'll never be a race driver holding onto fears;

I'll never be a mother

And I'll never marry young;

I'll never be you

And I'll never be the one

[Outro]

But I'll be me better than you today

I'll be me better than you
