I Am What I Am

I know you've read
So many books
You keep abreast of all the things you think you should
You've got your own home grown philosophy
And it works for you
But please don't try to make it work for me

You have nothing to prove
But you're trying much too hard

Stop trying to change me (stop trying to change me...)
I am what I am (I am what I am...)
No I don't need you to save me (I don't need you to save me...)
I am what I am (I am what I am...)

I don't want you to show me (I don't need you to show me...)
Because I stand where I stand (I stand where I stand...)
I just need you to know me (I just need you to know me)
Just know who I am (just know who I am...)

Just know who I am...
Just know who I am...

I know you feel you need to prove
That you are good at simply everything you try to do
And people hang on your every word
That you deliver with conviction
Though they may just be absurd

Leave your armor behind
Free your vulnerable mind

Stop trying to change me (stop trying to change me...)
I am what I am (I am what I am...)
No I don't need you to save me (I don't need you to save me...)
I am what I am (I am what I am...)

I don't want you to show me (I don't need you to show me...)
Because I stand where I stand (I stand where I stand...)
I just need you to know me (just need you to know me)
Just know who I am (just know who I am...)

Just know who I am...
Just know who I am...
