Verse 1
Thought life would be a straight and narrow road, But it’s taken turns, and I’ve been feelin’ low,
I’m searchin’ for the truth, the heart of me, Beggin’ for a chance, just to be set free.
Chorus
Life ain’t what I thought it would be, I’m standin’ here just tryin’ to be me. I’m askin’ you, can’t you see,
All I need is to be free.
Verse 2
We’re raised on dreams, our eyes on the skies, But life comes around and opens our eyes, The world ain’t as simple as it seemed before, I’m seeking’s somethin’ real, so much more.
Chorus
Life ain’t what I thought it would be, I’m standin’ here just tryin’ to be me. I’m askin’ you, can’t you see,
All I need is to be free.
Bridge
Our heroes, they’re just like you and me, Searchin’ for love, just tryin’ to be,
Not the fame or the fortune that they own,
But the heart and soul that’s deep in their bones.
Chorus
Life ain’t what I thought it would be, I’m standin’ here just tryin’ to be me. I’m askin’ you, can’t you see,
All I need is to be free.
Verse 3
We’ve got our hopes, our dreams, and our fears, But I won’t be chained by what others hear,
The day that I break free, I’ll finally see,
What it’s like to live, to truly be me.
Outro
Life ain’t what I thought it would be, But I’ll keep on fightin’, tryin’ to be me, In your eyes, I hope you’ll see,
All I ever wanted was to be free.
