real lyrics

I am what I am
I'm super fortified hundred proof girl with a band
And I'm a velveteen rabbit made of steel with a plan
I'm not your seventeen girl but its not worth a can
Of worms, I'm not your beauty queen
I'm not the girl in glamour magazine
I'm not running for miss popularity
Cause I won't be what I can't be

CHORUS:
But I want to be real
I want to find out who I am
And I will find my way to heal
And I will find my voice my stand

I am who I am
I am woman hear me roar and I am salt, I am sand
A million starfish stranded, landed, I'll throw back what I can
I'll save the planet, change the world, I'll make a one girl stand
I've got better things to do than be shown off
I won't be the doll you lock up in a box
Don't expect me to be anything I'm not
Cause I won't be what I can't be

CHORUS

Approval is your sword
Popularity your crown
But I'm not one of your subjects, you can't bring me down
You say I lose your approval if I'm not cool like you
Well, here's a newsflash for you - I've got nothing to lose
Your laughter is hallow because I don't care
You look down on me, but I'm not there
I've got nothing to prove and nothing to lose
Nothing to prove and nothing to lose

CHORUS

And if I never find a place that I can call my own
I will have tried I will've been free
I'll be alive as long as I'm still trying to be me
As long as I'm still trying to be me
