That's Who I Am

Whispers in the crowd, their judging eyes Pointing at the way I live my life They call me different, try to shame But difference is strength, not blame Their hatred only shows their fear But I won’t bend, I’m standing here That’s who I am, I’ll never hide I have the right, can’t be denied My life is mine, my choice, my way That’s who I am, and here I’ll stay That’s who I am, that’s who I am They laugh at love they’ll never feel Projecting wounds that never heal They raise me up to strike me down But in their hate, they only drown Their judgment can’t put out my flame I rise above, I own this name That’s who I am, I’ll never hide I have the right, can’t be denied My life is mine, my choice, my way That’s who I am, and here I’ll stay That’s who I am, that’s who I am (That's who I am - deal with it or die) That’s who I am, I’ll never hide I have the right, can’t be denied My life is mine, my choice, my way That’s who I am, and here I’ll stay That’s who I am, that’s who I am
