I am what I am
I dont want praise I dont want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think its noise, I think its pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
Till you can shout out
I am what I am
I am what I am

I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
Its one life and theres no return and no deposit
One life so its time to open up your closet
Lifes not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what I am
I am what I am

I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation
Its my world That I want to have a little pride in
My world and its not a place
I have to hide in
Lifes not worth a damn
Till you can say
I am what I am
I am what I am

I am, I am, I am good
I am, I am, I am strong
I am, I am, I am worthy
I am, I am, I belong
I am, I am useful
I am, I am, I am true
I am, I am somebody
I am as good as you
