(geoffrey williams and simon stirling)



Some people know what they wanna be

Some people see what they wanna see

Everyday needs some kind of dream

But the complexities of life escape to an ideal sceneyeah



People try to tell you how to live your life

Let the blind lead the blind

Wellthat's all right

So make up your mind

The fool or the wise

There are things in this life

Which you can't compromise



Break away

And take the time to know your mind

And leave it all behind you

And say

That's the way I am



Yeah - I was born this way

Can't you see it in my eyes

Yeahheahheah

OhI was born this way

Can't you feel it in your heart

Yeahheahheahoh



It's not always easy to disagree

Don't make excuses for what you see

There's one thing in life

I have no doubt

You're on the way up

On the way outbabyoh



Some people see what's gonna be

But they hide in a corner

From reality

Sometimes you're up

And sometimes you're down

You can't spend your whole life

Just fooling around



Break away

And take the time to break the ties

And leave it all behind you and say

That's the way I am



Yeah - I was born this way

Can't you see it in my eyes

Yeahheahheah

OhI was born this way

Can't you feel it in your heart and say

Yeahheahheahoh



In this world

There's a love that's unspoken

Letting go

Reaching out

Then it's time to search your heart

And stopit's you

Learn to love yourself

Respect yourself

Say - that's the way I am



SayI was born this way

Yeahyeahyeah

Yeah - I was born this way

Can't you see it in my eyes? 

Yeahheahheah

OhI was born this way

Can't you feel it in your hearts and say

So open your eyes

And say yeahheahheah
