I must make a choice   A tough decision   Listen to my voice   Should I give in   To temptation, admiration?      One leads to myself   The other someone else   Just an empty shell   Just an empty shell      It's harder than it seems   When you're told that   All your hopes and dreams   Are yours to hold if   You just give them what's expected      Something they can sell   Put upon a shelf   But I am not for sale   I am not for sale      I hear a voice inside   It's grown into a scream   I'm not the next of them   I am the first of me      'Cause I can't live the lie   I am just what you see   I'm not the next of them   I am the first of me      If I can't refuse   The price they offer   I am sure to lose   And I will suffer   Sell my soul to make a profit      All I have to do   Is make believe it's true   That's something I can't do   That's something I can't do      I hear a voice inside   It's grown into a scream   I'm not the next of them   I am the first of me      'Cause I can't live the lie   I am just what you see   I'm not the next of them   I am the first of me      Ah, ooh   I am the first of me   Ah, ooh   I am the first of me      So, when the waiting's done   And it's time to face the truth   You know you're good enough   Deep down inside of you      You've finally woken up   If only just to prove   You were born to lead the way   And be the first of you
