I am who I am

Verse 1

I’ve worn a thousand faces

Trying to fit the frame

I’ve bent myself in pieces

Just to avoid the blame

They told me who I should be

What I should hide inside

But every time I listened

I lost a part of my light

Pre-Chorus

I’m done chasing shadows

Of who I was meant to be

I’m standing in the silence

Finally hearing me

Chorus

I am who I am

No mask, no disguise

I’m more than my fear

More than their eyes

I am who I am

Even broken, I stand

I don’t need permission

To be who I am

Verse 2

I’ve stumbled through the darkness

Questioned every scar

But pain became my language

And truth became my art

I’m not perfect or holy

I’m still learning to breathe

But I’m done apologizing

For being me

Pre-Chorus

I won’t shrink for comfort

Or soften my flame

I found my reflection

When I spoke my own name

Chorus

I am who I am

No shame in my skin

Every crack tells a story

Of where I’ve been

I am who I am

With my heart in my hand

I don’t need forgiveness

To be who I am

Bridge

If I fall, let me fall as myself

Not a version created for someone else

If I rise, let it be in my truth

Not the echo of voices that never knew

Final Chorus (soft → powerful)

I am who I am

And that is enough

I’ve been through the fire

I’ve learned how to love

I am who I am

This is where I stand

I choose myself

I am who I am

Outro

And for the first time

I feel at home

Inside who I am
