Don't Try to Tell Me How to Live
Clayton Sturgeon

Verse 1:
I wake up to the sun, shining bright in my face,
Got my dreams in my pocket, no time to waste.
People say I should follow, the tracks that they’ve laid,
But I’m running my own race, I won't be swayed.

Chorus:
Don't try to tell me how to live,
I've got my own way, my own to give.
With every step I take, I’m breaking free,
This is my life, let me be me.

Verse 2:
You’ve got your opinions, and that’s okay,
But I’ll carve my own path, come what may.
They call it reckless, they call it bold,
But my heart’s a fire, and my spirit’s gold.

Chorus:
Don't try to tell me how to live,
I've got my own way, my own to give.
With every step I take, I’m breaking free,
This is my life, let me be me.

Bridge:
Each scar tells a story of the battles I’ve fought,
Your words don’t define me, it’s freedom I’ve sought.
I’ll dance to my own rhythm, sing my own song,
With every challenge faced, I’ll only grow strong.

Chorus:
Don't try to tell me how to live,
I've got my own way, my own to give.
With every step I take, I’m breaking free,
This is my life, let me be me.

Outro:
So here’s to the dreamers, the fighters, the brave,
We’ll stand tall together, we’ll rise, we’ll pave.
Don’t try to tell me how to live,
This is my journey, and it’s mine to give.
