r. have to live with myself, and so
I Want to be for myself to know,
Always to look myself straight in the eye,
I dont want to stand, with the setting sun
And hate myself for the things I have done,
I want to go out with my head rferect;
I want to deserve all mens respect
But here in the struggle for fame and self
I want to be able to like myself
"*
I dont want to look at myself and know7
That Im bluster and bluff and empty show
I never can fool myself, and so
Whatever happens I want to be
Solf respecting and conscious free*
