I Am What I Am (Rerecorded Version)

I am what I am
I don't want praise, I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise, I think it's 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
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out
"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 deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out
"I am what I am"

I am, I am good
I am, I am strong
I am, I am somebody
I am, I do belong

I am, I am good
I am, I am strong
I am, I am somebody
I am, I do belong

I am, I am useful
I am, I am true
I am, I am worthy
I am as good as you

I am, I am useful
