More: www.myspace.com/bassalindos An original song by Christine Ann Atallah and Danny McLaughlin. The french version of this song is on their album: ESCAPADES. The song speaks about the freedom to be yourself. Christine had to fight hard for the right to be herself, free to be a musician in a conservative family that validated traditional professions and business more than art. Christine was also thinking about womens' strength, ability and individuality, as well as their right to be, dress, speak, dream and be, anything they want to be.| Similar to Sarah Mclachlan, Natacha Atlas,Shakira
Lyrics:
Let me be me, (let me be free)
©Christine Atallah & Danny McLaughlin (Socan, BMI)
Set my beauty free
Let me be as Allah made me
Verse 1:
Need no sanctity, don't put me down,
Need none to protect me, I've been around
My destiny-- is up to me, so just...
Chorus:
Let me be
Let me be me
Just let me be
Let me be free
Verse 2:
I don't think like you, you say I'm proud
I'm my own person, I scream it aloud
All that I dream-- is up to me.
CHORUS
Bridge:
Everything has changed, yet it all stays the same
Call it by a different name. I wanna change the rules of the game, yeah
Verse 3:
My sense of self is strong, don't patronize
I have honor and courage, I will not be denied
I'll do things my way--no matter what you say...
Double Chorus
