needs no excuses
i watched him sing this tonite & i had tears in my eyes, cuz in this, i see heechul, i see my siblings and those who have touched me.
i see myself.
Click to viewi 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 take 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, "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 spangle,
why not try to see things from a diff'rent angle?
your life is a sham 'til 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 damn 'til you can say,
"hey world, i am what i am!"
