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.
