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
