I Am
fia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've been trying to put me in a box
Saying this is it, you'll never be enough
Take those dreams and put them on a shelf

And for many years I was holding back
thinking I should be more like this and that
But then I saw the real truth of it all
No, I am not who you think I am
I am so much more, I am one with Source
I am limitless, infinite, powerful,
abundant, complete from the start, creator of all
I am that I am
Oh yes, I am that I am

And I've been stuck in thoughts, doing it their way
Didn't listen to the things my heart would say
Letting fear take over and decide

But when I realized that the choice was mine
Oh I could feel a shift and I began to shine
Living an empowered, beautiful life

No, I am not who you think I am
I am so much more, I am one with Source
I am limitless, infinite, powerful,
abundant, complete from the start, creator of all
I am that I am
Oh I am that I am

And therefore
everything around could fall apart
and I would still have love in my heart

Open eyes, now I see
that there is nothing to do - just be

No, I am not who you think I am
I am so much more, I am one with Source




I am limitless, infinite, powerful,
abundant, complete from the start, creator of all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fia's song "I Am" express a powerful message of self-empowerment and self-realization, with the artist rejecting the limitations imposed upon her by others and celebrating her true identity as an unlimited, powerful and complete being. The first verse implies that someone else has been trying to pigeonhole Fia into a certain box, defining her limitations, and in effect stifling her dreams. She recounts how she had held herself back, trying to be something else, but eventually saw through the illusion of these limitations.


In the second verse, Fia reveals that her past fear and limited thinking had held her back from truly living. However, when she realized that the power of choice was hers, she shifted her mindset and began to shine. The chorus is a powerful statement of self-recognition and realization, as Fia declares boldly that she is so much more than what others had defined her as. She recognizes her oneness with The Source, and her inherent limitlessness, abundance and power, as well as her role as a creator.


In the final verse, Fia speaks of the transcendence beyond appearances and the inevitable challenges of life, into a state of being where one can just "be," accepting the true nature of reality. She adds that love is ever-present regardless of what is happening around us. Overall, the message of the song is one of empowerment, reminding listeners that they too are not limited by the boxes others may try to put them in and encouraging them to recognize their true identity as powerful and limitless beings.
