My Own

All I want to be, is be my own.
My own Thought. My own Dream.
All I want to be, is be my own.

I want to tell the world--that I'm my own
And not be stopped along the way;
To swim against the stream.

I'd be a Big Tall Tree, rooted in the stream.
Defying all around me,
Leaning against the sun's beam.

I would take all who would follow.
Follow to where? I don't exactly know...
Just so I could have them Follow
me And this they'd never know.

I'd be for a noble cause
A Great and Mighty Theme
Something to make them pause
An anthem I could sing

Who would they be to judge me?
I, most ambitious of them all.
Until I make one mistake...
And then my Dream would fall.
