Let Me Be
Music and Lyrics by L. Gillam


Don’t tell me how to live, who to love, how to pray
Don’t tell me where to go, I can find my own way
Don’t tell me what to think, how to dream, what to say
Don’t tell me what to do, this ends now - today

Let me be, why is it you cannot see?
Let me be, I’m happy with me being me

Don’t judge my ideals and the goals I pursue
Don’t judge my beliefs, they’re just my point of view
Don’t judge what I read or the music I write
And act all surprised when I stand up and fight

Let me be, why is it you cannot see?
Let me be, I’m happy with me being me

You treat me as though I’ve no strength and no heart
Latch on to my words and you pick them apart
It’s gone on too long, it’s time that I speak
Do not take my silence to mean that I’m weak

Solo

Let me be, why is it you cannot see?
Let me be, I’m happy with me being me

Let me be, why is it you cannot see?
Let me be, I’m happy with me being me
