I Am - Original Song - By: Emma Rowley

Hey everyone! So a couple weeks ago I went to Nashville, Tennessee and recorded this new song I co-wrote for a cancer foundation in Columbus, Ohio. The foundation is called Fighting Faces (http://www.fightingfaces.com/) and in this video are the pictures from their 2012 calendar photo shoot. The kids pictured are all in various stages of treatment along with animals from the Columbus Zoo who are either in danger of becoming extinct or are sick themselves and are part of the zoo's conservation effort which is greatly supported by Jack Hanna and his daughter Julie. Childhood cancer is a cause close to my heart since I lost a younger brother to a brain tumor. The last picture is of us together :)

Thank you to Lori Wycoff for putting together this amazing organization. A portion of the proceeds made from our efforts to sell this song will go to families dealing with cancer so please purchase this single on iTunes! (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/i-am-single/id484776250)

Thank you to everyone who made this song possible!

LYRICS
Some call me a hero
But I have no medals to share
Only scars that I wear
Cuz I am who I am

Some say i am fragile
But i have no tears left to cry
Only battles left to fight
Cuz I am who i am

CHORUS
Who I am is your neighbor
I am somebody's friend
I'm an athlete, an artist
A singer in a band

I am one of many
Putting aside my own sorrow
I'm the face fighting today
For a future tomorrow

Some label me different
But i'm no different than you
Your dreams are mine too
Cuz i am who i am

Some think i'm unlucky
But i have a life left to live
I have so much more to give
Cuz i am who i am

CHORUS
Who I am is your neighbor
I am somebody's friend
I'm an actress, an author
A future president

I am one of many
Putting aside my own sorrow
I'm the face fighting today
For a future tomorrow

BRIDGE
So please don't take pity on me
I am the person I was meant to be
And this is who I am

CHORUS
Who I am is a fighter
I am part of God's plan
I'm gonna challenge the future
I'm gonna take a stand

Who I am is a survivor
I am one of a kind
I am fearless and unstoppable
Reaching for the sky

I am one of many
Putting aside my own sorrow
I'm the face fighting today
For a future tomorrow

Amazing song. This is proof that good songs can exist without involving sex, violence, or drugs. Beautiful voice and song. It's sort of sad and inspirational at the same time. Keep up the AMAZING work.

This is a really, really, really beautiful song - I thank you for creating new feelings of hope for all of us. Everyone is special in their own way, and a part of the grand power we call 'love.' And we all have awesome power in strengths and abilities and contributions. I know these things are true, but I have trouble focusing on them, and this song wraps it all up with such a gorgeous sound ... I LOVE this song!!! Bless you - for the insight, emotion and meaning you give us.
