I will not give up my own self
just to be with you
I will not be glad
just to do what I am told to do
I'm not meant to be your property
No, I belong to me
If I want to reach for the stars
you can't toll me back
I want to take chances
far off from the beaten track
Don't force me to be what I can't be
I belong to me
If you try to chain me
I will not obey
I rather leave you alone
If you try to change me
I must break away
to be what I am on my own
I'm freezing; I'm burning
I live without compromise
I'm crawling; I'm climbing
I'm ready to pay the price
I know it's not easy to be free
but I belong to me
I hate to be burdened
with duties that I despise
You know I can't stand
to be watched by a thousand eyes
I flee from the crowd in agony
I just belong to me
If you want to keep me
don't hold me so tight
I can't give my life for your love
If you want to break me
I'll not even fight
I'll just fly away like a bird
I'm here when you need me,
I live and I die with you.
I'll share all your troubles,
I'll laugh and I'll cry with you.
You can blame me and bless me,
but you cannot possess me,
'cause I belong to me!
