Ein Käfig Voller Narren - I Am What I Am - Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

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 dam

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 it’s noise, I think it’s pretty

And so what if I love each feather and each bangle

Why not try to see things from a different angle

Your life is a sham

Till 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 dam

Till you can say, hey world, I am what I am
