Michael Gleason: True to myself [lyrics]

Michael Gleason

True to myself

We used to be the ones

Who cried out loud and clear

We took any risk to keep our direction

A generation reaching for a new frontier

We never gave in to a world of rejection

Days gone by few still remember

But I can't forget the passion

I've got to be true to myself

To the things that I believe

Well, you can take me to the wall

But you can't make me live a lie

Underneath the weight

Of silent social fear

Expression is drowning

In shallow waters

We keep to ourselves

And slowly disappear

And nothing is left

To our sons and our daughters

Heaven knows

My conscience drives me

To only one conclusion:

I've got to be true to myself

To the things that I believe

Well, you can take me to the wall

But you can't make me live a lie

Got to be true to myself

Oh, to the way I live and breathe

You can take me to the wall

Heaven knows

My conscience drives me

To only one conclusion:

I've got to be true to myself

To the things that I believe

You can take me to the wall

But you can't make me live a lie

Got to be true to myself

Oh, to the way I live and breathe

Oh, you can take me

Take me to the wall

But you can't make me live a lie...
