I am not the biggest fish
In the sea,
I can’t as high
As an eagle
In such majesty
But I’m me.

I’m not as smart
As Mr. Einstein,
I’m not as gorgeous
As Aphrodite
But I’m me,
Yeah I’m me.

I am strong
I am loved
And I know
How to love,
I am a nerd
But I’m cool
And I won’t be
Anyone’s fool.

So no matter
What you think
I will never change
Cause I’m me.
Yeah, I’m me.
