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

It's my world

that i want to have a little pride in

my world

and it's 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 dont want praise

i dont want pitty

I bang my own drum

some think its noise

i think its pretty

And so what

if i love is sparkle

and each spangle

why not try to see things from a different angle?

Your life is a sham

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

sometimes the ace

sometimes the dueces

Theres one life!

and theres no return and no deposit

one life!

so its time to open up ur closet!

Life's not worth a damn

til you can say

"Hey, World!"

I am what i am!
