They say come with us And you’ll be free But I just wanna be me They say join and the team And you can see But I prefer to stay me If there’s a stairway to Heaven I would stay right here alone Staying true and the world stops turning Staying true and my heart stops burning 'Cause I will rise and shine where you can never go I'll be the king divine that you will never know Yes, I will rise and shine where you can never go I will rule my world, crush your dreams Don't need your sympathy, I just wanna be me They make empty promises But this shit ain't real I just wanna be free I have neither been lucky Nor the chosen one But I like to be me If there's a shortcut to happiness I still take the ferry to Hell Staying true until the world stops turning Staying true until the heart stops burning 'Cause I will rise and shine where you can never go I'll be the king divine that you will never know Yes, I will rise and shine where you can never go I will rule my world, crush your dreams Don't need your sympathy, I just wanna be me Rise, become immortal A journey back from the dead Shine, open the portal Make them pay and don't you ever regret Rise, become immortal A journey back from the dead Shine, open the portal And make them pay 'Cause I will rise and shine where you can never go (Never go) I'll be the king divine that you will never know (Never know) Yes, I will rise and shine where you can never go (Never go) I will rule my world, crush your dreams Don't need your sympathy, I just wanna be me
