My Soul Is Rock 'N' Roll

It don't feel like I'm the one making choices in my life

It burdens me to feel that I'm supposed to be your pride

The circumstance in which I was raised has formed me into who I am

I can't be expected to not want to forge my own path

I don't want to be what you want

And I don't want to feel what you feel

I won't be sat behind a wooden cell, while life passes me by

Maybe I'm not

The person that you hoped you'd be for so long when you were young

I know I'm not

In line with the vision you've had for me for my whole life

I won't lie

I'm not shy

We're a lifetime apart, my dreams were forged from the start

I won't allow "good enough" to take its toll

Cause My Soul Is Rock 'N' Roll

I remember I was thirteen, your words were heard by me

"You're spending time wasting your life chasing a dream you'll never see"

To accept denial, that ain't my style for my drive has brought me here

I'm on a roll and my ambition will not be stifled by your fear

It's evident we don't share the same views

On who I am and what I'm supposed to do

I won't allow you to mold me into the shape of a man to just please you

Maybe I'm not

The person you hoped I'd be for so long when I was young

I know I'm not

In line with the vision you've had for me for my whole life

I won't lie

I'm not shy

We're a lifetime apart, my dreams were forged from the start

I won't allow good enough to take its toll

Cause My Soul Is Rock 'N' Roll

All I want from life

Is the chance to live my dream each day and night

Not be satisfied, by just getting by

All I want for you

Is to be proud of the one you brought to life

Not longing for someone else
