I am who I am, and that's who you made me to be.
Why do they try making me who I'm not? Why do they try changing me?
I am who I am, and that's who I want to be.
I don't like people telling me to be something I cannot see as me.
I am who I am, whether they like it or not. And that's who I'll always be.
The criticism, teasing, poking fun, and childish mimicking is not changing me.
I am who I am, with the secrets I hold, held tight to my heart so they don't try making me be
Perfect in their eyes, not my eyes nor God's -- all for their sake -- my secrets keep them from changing me.
I am who I am, and that's who I'll stay, trusting God to guide me each day, and be
By my side through their lies -- He'll make me who I am to be, not what they may want of me.
