I am
I am
What I am
What I am
What I am
What I am
I'll be
I'll be
I am
I am
What I am
What I am
For the rights
For the rights
Of man
Hey
People have the right
To be just who they are
People have the right
To share all of their love
People have the right
To share just what they give
The right to their free will
I did not choose the way I am
I did not choose the way I am
I said I am what I am
This is my fellow man
I did not choose the way I a-a-am
I did not choose the way I am
I said I am what I a-a-am
Please try to understand
I did not choose the way I a-a-am
I did not choose the way I am
I said I am what I a-a-am
I am just a man
I was born into this wor-or-orld
Born into this world
I said I am what I a-a-am
I am what I am
Hey, alright
