I am what I am
I am my own special creation.
So, come take a look
Give me the hook
Or the ovation.
It's my world that I want to have a little pride in
My world
And its not a place I have to hide in.
Life's not worth a damn
'Til you can say
Hey world, I am what I am.
I am what I am
I don't want prasie
I don't want pity.
I bang my own drum
Some think its noise,
I think its pretty.
And so what
If I love each feather and each spangle?
Why not try to see things from a different angle?
lifes not worth a damn
'Til you can shout out loud
I am what I am.
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Some times the ace
Sometimes the deuces
There's one life
And there's no return and no deposit
One life
So its time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn
'Til you can say
Hey world, I am what I am
