I Am What I Am (Copenhagen 2021 WorldPride anthem)

[Verse 1]
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 I am what I am

[Verse 2]
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
'Til you can shout out, I am what I am

[Chorus]
(I am, I am, I am good)
(I am, I am, I am strong)
(I am, I am, I am worth it)
(I am, I am, I belong) I am what I am
(I am, I am, I am useful)
(I am, I am, I am true)
(I am, I am, I am somebody)
(I am as good as you)

[Verse 3]
I am what I am
And what I am, needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometime's the ace, sometime's thе deuces
It's one lifе 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 shout out, I am what I am
I am what I am

[Outro]
(I am, I am, I am useful)
(I am, I am, I am true) I am what I am
(I am, I am, I am somebody)
(I am as good as you)
