Who I Am
Jessica Andrews Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And never see the seven wonders
That'll be alright
If I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
'Cause I know exactly who I am
I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
So when I make big mistake
When I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowin'
I will be just fine
'Cause nothin' changes who I am
I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
I'm a saint and I'm a sinner
I'm a loser, I'm a winner
I'm am steady and unstable
I am young but I'm able
I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
The song "Who I Am" by Jessica Andrews is an empowering ballad that celebrates the importance of self-identity and self-acceptance. The lyrics discuss the various aspects of the singer's life that contribute to her identity and recognize that even if she never achieves great success or visits the world's wonders, she is still content with who she is. Throughout the song, Andrews touches on different facets of her identity, including her family lineage and relationships, her personal strengths and weaknesses, and her ability to both succeed and fail.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the central message of self-acceptance as Andrews repeats the refrain "That's who I am," which suggests that regardless of external factors or perceived flaws, she is comfortable with and proud of her identity. The line "I'm a saint and I'm a sinner, I'm a loser, I'm a winner" captures the complexity of human identity and reinforces the idea that each person has multiple facets to their personality.
Overall, "Who I Am" is a powerful reminder that self-love and self-acceptance are crucial for happiness and success in life.

Me i am fighting depression and this is one song I go to
@derekanderson7282
I am, and have done so probably a dozen times this year, not to mention the hundreds of times in the last decade.
While that may be due to the fact that what is today's standard for 'music' hurts those with a sense of sound and clarity of listening purpose, some of us like to hear and understand lyrics that tell a story and make sense without all the synthesized garbage that passes as 'music' these days.

My mother Rosemary died at the young age of 39 from cancer. I was her only daughter out of 4 children. I was 20 at that time. Now I have a daughter and I play this song for her all the time and will be playing it at my daughter's Quinceanera in a few weeks during a slide show. Everyone will definitely be crying especially me. Thank you for this beautiful song!
