I've walked through the fire
I've weathered the storm
I've stood on the edge
But I've never conformed
You tried to control me
To make me your clone
But I'm standing tall now
I'M A MAN OF MY OWN!
No more chains to hold me down
No more tears when you're around
I've found my voice, and now I've grown
I'M A MAN OF MY OWN!
I never needed your pity
You were never ready to love me
All you ever wanted to see is (BREAKIN')
While I'm falling for you
I never needed your pity
You were never ready to love me
All you ever wanted to see is (BREAKIN')
While I'm falling for you
I've been through the battles
The scars still remain
But I've learned to rise up
And dance through the pain
You thought I'd be shattered
Lost and alone
But I'm stronger than ever
I'M A MAN OF MY OWN!
No more chains that hold me down
No more tears when you're around
I've found my voice, and now I've grown
I'M A MAN OF MY OWN!
I never needed your pity
You were never ready to love me
All you ever wanted to see is (BREAKIN')
While I'm falling for you
I never needed your pity
You were never ready to love me
All you ever wanted to see is (BREAKIN')
While I'm falling for you
