Had no illusions left to build upon
Every dream I used to dream where dead and gone
Was growing cynical in every way
And I tried to keep my world from turning grey
But

I am what I am
Something in me
Can´t take that away

I am what I am
Can´t replace me
Hear me when I say

I am what I am (*4)

I can feel it coming back to me
And I´m slowly moving back to sanity
Life is way too short to sit and wait
So I got to do what ever it may take
Cos´

I am what I am
Something in me
Can´t take that away

I am what I am
Can´t replace me
Hear me when I say

I am what I am (*4)

I´m gonna make it (gonna)
I am what I am
I´m gonna make it (gonna)
Can´t take that away
I´m gonna make it (gonna)
I am what I am
I´m gonna make it (gonna)
Hear me when i say
