I Will Be Free

"What use is freedom if you live in the gutter?"
They all seem to mutter

Laugh all you want at me
But you will see, you will see

I will not let you drown me
I will be what I want to be

If I'm a singer, I will sing
And the best I will bring

I'll be whoever I am
I will do whatever I can

Try to stop me? No way,
No one can make me stay

Want me as your puppet
I am not a muppet

I don't have strings
I will not do your things

I will be free
I will be me
