I am who I am
And you never can change me
You can force me to hide
Make me swallow my pride
But I will always be who I am (x2)
The Goddess didn’t make me in her image
The God isn’t written on my face
Yet I am divine
Fit and worthy and fine
And coming to stand in my place
I am where I am
This is where I’m meant to be
You can call me a freak
Question my sanity
But I will always be who I am (x2)
You may not want to understand me
You may not think I’m worth respect
Yet you don’t define
What I am deep inside
I’m all I ever wanted to be
I am what I am
There’s many parts to me
There’s the ones you can see
And the ones you cannot
But each one makes me just who I am
I will always be who I am
I may wear a mask that’s made of courage
I fake it till I make it inside out
I try to be a person I can count on
But just like you I’m often full of doubt
I am who I am
And you never can change me
You can force me to hide
Make me swallow my pride
But I will always be who I am
[x2]
I will always be who I am
I will always love who I am
