Lyrics
I want to be me © Klaus Gehlhaar

The song we used to love
Where are the moments when I was free
Looking for harbour lost at sea

No plans in the making or up my sleeves
Used up all the churches so who to believe
Money's no answer I've been a hunter too
Should I find a lover whisper I love you
Chorus:
I want to be me, extraordinary, everyone can see, this is me

And the earth is alive under my feet
So much air still need to breathe
Hearts to be broken and women to please
One thing's for sure before I die
I want and I will learn how to fly
Chorus
I want to be me, extraordinary, everyone can see, this is me
