I listen to a record playin' About someone in love Puttin' a cigarette in my mouth, I wonder Sittin' at the piano, An ashtray is on Hummin' a simple melody, I wonder Ah, I wanna know If there's a song for me Ah, I wanna show everything I feel I gotta hope that someday I'll sing out my song Loud and clear To be truly me, To be truly free, truly me I switch off the record player And silence reigns Listenin' to the music In my mind, I wonder Lookin' at the cloudy window Makin' noises in vain Touchin' the rattlin' windowpane I wonder Ah, I wanna know If there's a song for me Ah, I wanna show everything I feel I gotta hope that someday I'll sing out my song Loud and clear To be truly me, To be truly free, truly me Ah, I wanna know If there's a song for me Ah, I wanna show everything I feel I gotta hope that someday I'll sing out my song Loud and clear To be truly me, To be truly free, truly me To be truly me To be truly free, truly me To be truly me To be truly free, truly me To be truly me To be truly free, truly me
