I was raised by this town
To believe the words they put inside me
They made me hide
Inside their loving arms around me
I turned away
I choose the path that I believe in
I stand today
Above the shady nights behind me
I fear nothing
But the fact that I’m afraid of everything
I knew my name
Would only be for lonely riding
Choose to be me
To be free to be my way
I saw the light shining right in my eyes
Choose to be me
To be free to be my way
Inside the night
I write the lonely story of my life
It makes me cry
But I want to know it 'til the last line
I fear nothing
But the fact that I’m afraid of everything
Destiny – blow it away
I’m made for lonely riding
Choose to be me
To be free to be my way
I saw the light shining right in my eyes
Choose to be me
To be free to be my way
With a smile on
With a smile, hey
Every day my sun keeps rising
Giving me the strength that I need
All the faith I need for only you and I
Happiness is here with me
It’s made for all the days I see
Happiness is holding me around and
round and round and round
I choose to be me
To be free to be my way
I saw the light shining right in my eyes
Choose to be me
To be free to be my way
With a smile on
With a smile
I choose to be me
To be free to be my way
I saw the light shining right in my eyes
Choose to be me
To be free to be my way
(With a smile on) x2
