I Am What I Am

I know you've read

So many books

You keep abreast of all the things you think you should

You've got your own home grown philosophy

And it works for you

But please don't try to make it work for me

You have nothing to prove

But you're trying much too hard

Stop trying to change me (stop trying to change me...)

I am what I am (I am what I am...)

No I don't need you to save me (I don't need you to save me...)

I am what I am (I am what I am...)

I don't want you to show me (I don't need you to show me...)

Because I stand where I stand (I stand where I stand...)

I just need you to know me (I just need you to know me)

Just know who I am (just know who I am...)

Just know who I am...

Just know who I am...

I know you feel you need to prove

That you are good at simply everything you try to do

And people hang on your every word

That you deliver with conviction

Though they may just be absurd

Leave your armor behind

Free your vulnerable mind

Stop trying to change me (stop trying to change me...)

I am what I am (I am what I am...)

No I don't need you to save me (I don't need you to save me...)

I am what I am (I am what I am...)

I don't want you to show me (I don't need you to show me...)

Because I stand where I stand (I stand where I stand...)

I just need you to know me (just need you to know me)

Just know who I am (just know who I am...)

Just know who I am...

Just know who I am...
