So many people
Try to be like someone else and
Cover their heroes - their whole life long
So many people don't know
what they wanna be instead of
Listen to what they feel inside
I just try to be myself
I know that it's the hard way
But in the end it's easier
And I want your respect
I need your respect
So many people (so many people)
so many sorrows
So many faces (so many faces)
crying in the night
So many people (so many people)
believe in tomorrow
So many races (so many races)
crying in the night (crying in the night)
I don't wanna be like someone else
I just wanna be whatever I want
I just wanna get whatever I need yeah
I don't want no preconceived notion
I don't wanna stop - I wanna be in motion
no excuses for what I am
I just try to be myself
I know that's the hard way
but in the end it's easier
and I want your respect
I need your respect
I can no longer hide the pain
Why do all the people wanna be the same
You're not accountable to anyone
As long as you can soothe your conscience
cause you are the one...
