lyrics

I am what I am
I am where I'm meant to be
No longer comparing myself to the people around me
I'm in this story,
I'm on this journey,
I am what I am
I am where I'm meant to be

Ahum idam idam ahum
Ahum idam idam ahum
Ahum idam idam ahum
Ahum idam idam ahum
Ahum idam idam ahum

I am what I am
I am where I'm meant to be
I'm part of this human community and all our stories
I think we're ready to know who we are
And who we've always been

Ahum idam idam ahum
Ahum idam idam ahum
Ahum idam idam ahum
Ahum idam idam ahum
Ahum idam idam ahum

I am, I am, I am, I am
I am what I am
