Some people know what they wanna be
Some people see what they wanna see
Everyday needs some kind of dream
But the complexities of life escape to an ideal scene, yeah
People try to tell you how to live your life
Let the blind lead the blind
Well, that's all right
So make up your mind
The fool or the wise
There are things in this life
Which you can't compromise
Break away
And take the time to know your mind
And leave it all behind you
And say
That's the way I am
Yeah - I was born this way
Can't you see it in my eyes
Yeah, heah, heah
Oh, I was born this way
Can't you feel it in your heart
Yeah, heah, heah, oh
It's not always easy to disagree
Don't make excuses for what you see
There's one thing in life
I have no doubt
You're on the way up
On the way out, baby, oh
Some people see what's gonna be
But they hide in a corner
From reality
Sometimes you're up
And sometimes you're down
You can't spend your whole life
Just fooling around
Break away
And take the time to break the ties
And leave it all behind you and say
That's the way I am
Yeah - I was born this way
Can't you see it in my eyes
Yeah, heah, heah
Oh, I was born this way
Can't you feel it in your heart and say
Yeah, heah, heah, oh
In this world
There's a love that's unspoken
Letting go
Reaching out
Then it's time to search your heart
And stop, it's you
Learn to love yourself
Respect yourself
Say - that's the way I am
Say, I was born this way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah - I was born this way
Can't you see it in my eyes?
Yeah, heah, heah
Oh, I was born this way
Can't you feel it in your hearts and say
Yeah, heah, heah, oh
The fool or the wise
So open your eyes
And say yeah, heah, heah
Yeah - say it loud and clear
And say yeah, heah, heah
I was born this way, oh, oh, oh
Say yeah, heah, heah
I was born this way
Born this way
So say, so say, yeah
I said yeah
Dusty Springfield, born Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien (London, April 16, 1939 – Henley-on-Thames, March 2, 1999), was a British singer whose impact on the history of British fashion and popular music in the 20th century is comparable to that of Mina in Italy or Dalida in France. Mary was the second daughter of Gerard and Catherine (Kay) O'Brien, Irish immigrants settled in one of the working-class neighborhoods on the north outskirts of London. She grew up in the suburb of Ealing and already as a child earned the nickname Dusty for her tomboyish attitude. She inherited her passion for music from her maternal grandfather, who encouraged her to listen to authors like George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Glenn Miller. Her musical role model as a girl was Peggy Lee. In 1958 she left school and, responding to an advertisement in a newspaper, joined the Lana Sisters group. Thanks to this experience, she learned vocal harmony and stage work. In 1960 she began her solo career under the stage name Dusty Springfield, achieving immediate success with songs like "I Only Want to Be with You" and "Stay Awhile". Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, she gained international fame thanks to albums like "Dusty in Memphis" (1969), considered a masterpiece of British soul. Her powerful voice, her elegant style, and her ability to interpret pop, soul, and rhythm and blues songs with great sensitivity made her one of the most admired artists of her generation. Dusty Springfield was also a pioneer for women in music, challenging gender norms and achieving lasting success despite the difficulties of the music world.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
