This is who I am ...

I heard this song the other day on the radio and loved the words ... of course they didn't name the artist and I had no idea who the singer was, so have been channel surfing constantly since to hear it again.  Today whilst I was driving home, they played it again, so I wrote down some of the words and did a search on the internet and found out it's Vanessa Amorosi's latest single called This Is Who I Am ... check it out:

And here are the words ... they really resonate with me and my life:

I spend my life

Trying to do things right

but all I do is fall to my face with my hands and my hips so many times

but then I learned

after being burnt

to get back up, push straight on, stop the tears,

people move on

ooonnnn

{Chorus}

Well it's alright to be myself,

Now I've Learned To Stand

Well its OK to be just who I am

I've spent years really hating me

longing to be friends

Now I hope that you can understand,

This Is Who I Am

Now when life gets tough

I'm quick to hurry up

I run all day

I run through the night

I'll break down walls, I'll hit up high

I don't care if I'm fat,

Or if you think my clothes are bad

Yet i can go to sleep at night I'm a good person and I'll get by, I!!

I need someone, someone someone, someone like me

You deserve, deserve, deserve to have me

Because your world keeps spinning

And don't try to turn it

Oh, take a breather this is who I ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Am.
