lyrics

I chose my foundation,
And I will build on it
I've waited this long
But I can't wait forever,
To watch it grow

My fore-fathers set out for me,
To be the torch bearer
And light these murky waters
I'll light my pathway through this dark world
Illuminate

I am, what I am
Because of what I've done

I am what I am
Because of what I've done
I planted these seeds
I'll watch them bloom
This is the great I am
I rooted myself here
No one can stop me
I planted my seeds,
And built my house on this rock

My fore-fathers set out for me,
To be the torch bearer
And light these murky waters
I'll light my pathway, through this dark world
Illuminate

I am what I am,
Because of what I've done
I am what I am,
Because of what I've done
I got myself here

I built my home on this rock
I'll stay grounded
No one will move me
From this place and time
I'll stay grounded

I am what I am
This is the great I am
