George Hearn - I Am What I Am lyrics

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 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 feather 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 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 'til you can say "Hey world, I am what I am"
