The shades go up
Mothers staring down
She dont know where hes been
Or how long hes been out
She said, "Boy, Im tired of waiting up
While youre out with your friends"
He said, "Mom, Im trying
And Im living my life the best way that I can"
Cause Im trying to be somebody
Im not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine Im living
Dont you know me, I wont ever let you down
The days come
The son is moving on
She dont know where hell go
Or when hes coming home
She said, "Son, take care
Dont let your dreams get too far out of sight"
He said, "I love you, now dont worry about me
You know Ill be fine"
Im not trying to be somebody else
(Dont you know me I wont ever let you,
I wont ever let you down)
What they say
What they know
What they think
Wont ever bring me down
This life is mine
And I am my own
Im trying to be somebody
Im not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I lead
Dont you know me?
Im not trying to be somebody else
Dont you know me, I wont ever let you down
Oh Lord, I wont be nobody else
This life is mine
And I am my own |
