The person that you were has died, 
You've lost the sparkle in your eyes, 
You fell for life; into it's traps,
And now you wanna bridge the gaps.
Now you wanna bridge the gaps,
Now you want that person back.

And all your ammunition's gone, 
Run out of fuel to carry on, 
You don't know what you wanna do, 
You've got no pull, to pull you through. 

Say "I Am", 
Say "I Am", 
Say "I Am Wonderful".

Say "I Am", 
Say "I Am", 
Say "I Am Wonderful".

If what you've lost cannot be found, 
And the weight of the world weighs you down, 
No longer with the will to fly, 
You stop to let it pass you by. 
Don't stop to let it pass you by. 
You've gotta look yourself in the eyes and...

Say "I Am",
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am Wonderful".
Ooh, you are. 

Say "I Am", 
Say "I Am", 
Say "I Am Wonderful". 

'Cause we are all miracles, 
Wrapped up in chemicals, 
We are incredible. 
Don't take it for granted, no, 
We are all miracles.
Ooh, we are.

Say "I Am", 
Say "I Am", 
Say "I Am Wonderful". 
Ooh, you are.

Don't take it for granted, no, 
We are all miracles,
Wrapped up, yeah, we're wrapped up.
Ooh, we are wonderful.
