A song of becoming who I always was. Picture: Pascale Drent
Head full of songs, more then I can give to bands so I started recording with my living room studio. Try to put my symfonic rock background into a pop format
Lyrics
It took my quite a while before I pictured out what’s all about
possibilities beyond the ordinary, without doubt
Took me quite a while to learn to act according to my true
personality. You saw me try, try to get a clue
And still so much to do
I didn’t choose for who I am
but I am, so here I am
and I am proud for who I am
I have lived so many lives, several ways to be, exist
And what I am not I have been able to cross off the list
I have learned so many roads to walk upon or run
I got to know so many worlds, not just one, the only one
Several ways to love. Several ways to pain
Several ways to wisdom. Several ways to go insane
Several ways to see. Several ways to ignore
Several ways to nothing. Several ways to more
I didn’t choose for who I am
but I am, so here I am
Didn’t choose for who you are
but you are, be who you are
Do not question who I am
I am I, so here I am
and I am proud for who I am
Several ways to freedom, to honesty
Authenticity, to block or see
Several ways Several ways. Several ways
I do not want to fight your habits, common ways for how to act
So don’t you doubt how I behave, take my being as a fact
I am really not a threat to your life, to your soul
I am really just another cog in a bigger whole
Let all happen, let it roll
I didn’t choose for who I am
but I am, so here I am
Didn’t choose for who you are
but you are, be who you are
I never pressed you to be me
So don’t you leave your mark on me
Do not question who I am
I am I, so here I am
I didn’t choose for who I am
but I am, so here I am
Didn’t choose for who you are
but you are, be who you are
Do not question who I am
I am I, so here I am
and I am proud for who I am
