Verse 2 (same Tune)

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 an see things from
A diff-'rent  an-gle
Your life is a sham 
'til you can shout out loud
I  AM  WHAT  I  AM ~~~~~~~
