    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 take a little pride in.
    My world, and It's not a place I have to hide in.
    Life's not worth, a damn
    Till 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 its noise,
    I think It's pretty.
    And so what if I love each feather and each bangle.
    Why not try to see thing 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.
    There'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 say.
    Hey world, I am What I am.

    I'm not gay or bi, but I always feel stronger after listening to this song. So, I'm a little bit quirky and strange. So, my kid is really different from everyone else. We are who we are, and who we are special creations.

    Along with Billy Joel's "my life" John Barrowman's version of this song is right up my street! I have in the past paid my dues in the misery department for far too long so it is time to stand up and say life ain't worth a damn ...........! tho my husband constantly tells me that I am my own special creation and that our daughters are so me in a smaller size! In which case surely that's a good job well done and a mission accomplished ???

    I am what I am. You are what you are. We're all different in so many different ways. We can only come closer as much as we can. Be bold. Be natural. Take pride in what you are and what you do. Intrinsically you'll always remain the same from beginning to end.
