I Am
Penned by New York City based composer Scott Evan Davis, this ballad is about knowing and loving oneself in spite of having flaws and weaknesses. Features a tenor soloist for the first verse and an 8 part a cappella bridge, and ends with a huge final chord in classic show choir fashion. (A simplified SATB score is also available.)

I've never been one to seize the day Stand up and proudly have my say So I'd hide in the shadows and tuck away my dreams I've never been one to choose to fight Or insist that what I think is right It's safer to comply than be at war But this is who I am I may not be a god or a superhero I'm only who I am I may not be a king or a saint or an icon But learning who I was has taught me who I am I've been the one who would not leave I've been the one left alone to grieve I've proven too hardened for someone to deceive The person that I used to be is fading I am breaking free, no longer bound! This is who I am I may not be a god or a superhero I'm simply who I am I may not be a king or a saint or an icon But seeing who I was is knowing who I am I am my debts, I am my walls, I am regret I am my words, I am my doubts, I am my song! This is who I am I may not be a god or a superhero I'm only who I am I may not be a king or a saint or an icon but being who I was is accepting who I am This is who I am! (Scott Evan Davis)
