Song Lyrics

A friend of mind just sent me lyrics and an audio clip of a song he's written. Anyone know how I can post an audio clip here? Lyrics are below, but with the music it's SO much better!

Goodnight ya'all. Sweet dreams!

------------------------------------------

Verse 1:

As I sat down and read my morning paper
I couldn't help but feel that somehow I don't belong
I saw it all spelled out in the headlines
And learned that all I once thought was right is now "all wrong"
Well if that's what it takes to think me wise I guess I'll be a fool in all their eyes
'Cause I've had enough
And it's time I finally say

Chorus:

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

Verse 2:

Well I grew up I grew up with people who had values
Where families went together to church each Sunday morn'
A faith in God and love for my country
Were both instilled in me from the day that I was born
Should I have kids of my own one day I hope to raise them in that same old way
It's a dream I have
And it's a dream worth fighting for


Chorus:

It's just who I am
I don't apologize for my personal beliefs
It's who I am
I'm 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

Bridge:

I'm not concerned with what's popular in this society
Until I'm gone, I just want to say I lived what I believed
(repeat chorus)
