Lyrics

All I Need to Be

They tell me that I tried and failed
No more wind left in my sail
I'll tell you something here and now
I'm gonna make it I know how

I won't be kept down
I'll turn this life around
Let's let it all begin
My world had come apart
I'll make a brand-new start
It's not too late to start again

I am
I am
I am
All I need to be
All I need to be
All I need to be
All I need to be
All I need to be

I keep fighting every day
I take some falls along the way
There is nothing to forgive
I choose the life I want to live

I won't be kept down
I'll turn this life around
Let's let it all begin
My world had come apart
I'll make a brand-new start
It's not too late to start again

I am
I am
I am
All I need to be
All I need to be
All I need to be
All I need to be
All I need to be

I know just what waits for me
I'll tell you how it’s gonna be
I will not know defeat
I will get back on my feet

I won't be kept down
I'll turn this life around
Let's let it all begin
My world had come apart
I'll make a brand-new start
It's not too late to start again

I am
I am
I am
All I need to be
