Who I Am

As I sat down and read my morning paper

I couldn't help but feel that somehow I don't belong

I saw it saw spelled out in the headline

And learned that all I once thought was right is now all wrong

But if that's what it takes to think me wise

I guess I'll be a fool in all their eyes

'Cuz I've had enough, it's time I finally say

This is who I am

I don't apologize for my personal beliefs

This is who I am

It's not defined by power or money

This is who I am

And I don't care if I'm not all you think a man should be

I'm not gonna change my stand

This is who I am

Where I grew up the people have values

And families went together to church on Sunday morn

A faith in God and love for my country

Were both instilled in me from the day that I was born

And should I have kids of my own one day

I want to raise them up that same old way

It's a dream I have

It's a dream worth fighting for

This is who I am

I don't apologize for my personal beliefs

This is who I am

It's not defined by power or money

This is who I am

And I don't care if I'm not all you think a man should be

I''m not gonna change my stand.

This is who I am

I'm not concerned with what's popular in this society

Until I'm gone, I just wanna say I did what I believed

This is who I am

I don't apologize for my personal beliefs

This is who I am

It's not defined by power or money

This is who I am

And I don't care if I'm not all you think a man should be

I'm not gonna change my stand

This is who I am

It's who I am

It's who I am
