I did not choose the way I am

I did not choose the way I am
I said I am what I am
This is my fellow man
I did not choose the way I a-a-am
I did not choose the way I am
I said I am what I a-a-am
Please try to understand
I did not choose the way I a-a-am

I did not choose the way I am
I said I am what I a-a-am

Born into this world
I said I am what I a-a-am
