I am what I am

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
My world
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a dam
Till I can say
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 sparkle and each bangle
Why not see things from a different angle
Your life is a shame
Till you can shout out I am what I am I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces 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 dam till you can shout out
I am what I am I am what I am I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the aces 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 dam till you can shout out
I am what I am I am I am I am good
I am I am I am strong
I am I am I am worthy
I am I am I belong I am I am Who whoooo etc.
I am I am I am I am useful
I am I am I am true
I am I am somebody
I am as good as you
Yes I am

la cansionsilla

soy lo que soy
un reflejo en un espejo, un cabello enredado, una marca en tu cuello.
un mar de dudas furioso, un caballo trotando, un amanecer anaranjado.
un collar de perlas, una gota de lluvia, un velo transparente

soy un bichito que molesta, una vaca en medio de la carretera
un tropezón en el camino.
un buen desayuno, un revés con premio, un brote compasivo
un concurso de dentaduras, una fruta jugosa, un gato jugando con un ovillo.

soy lo que soy
ni lo que pretendo, ni la materialización de tus deseos
ni una aparición mariana, ni un mentón erguido
ni una insolación, ni el final del partido.

soy un montocito de escarcha o un jardín con altos setos
una casa abandonada o un ramillete de nardos.

soy
lo único que tengo
soy
y me quiero
