I Am What I Am (Copenhagen WorldPride 2021 Anthem) – Aqua (originally by Jerry Herman)

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
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
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, I am useful I am, I am, I am true I am, I am, I am somebody I am as good as you
I am what I am And what I am needs no excuses I deal my own deck Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces It’s one life and there’s no return and no a 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 I am what I am 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
