Lyrics
INHERENT VALUE
Music/Lycs by Ishtar aka Esther Portes

I have inherent value
No matter what I do
When I am aware of this truth
I know the same for you
This knowledge gives me courage
To live from day to day
I want to share the good news
To shine a light your way
Chorus:
I am, I am,
I am is my true name
I know the truth about myself
I am uniquely made
Bridge:
I know the truth about myself
my lineage is divine
I am, I am, I am
Verse:
Whenever I am tempted
To doubt my purpose here
I quietly connect with
The truth that lives in me
That always helps remind me
How valuable I am
The truth is I'm complete
Just the way I am.
Chorus:
I am, I am,
I am is my true name
I know the truth about myself
I am uniquely made
Coda:
I know the truth about myself
My lineage is divine
I am, I am, I am
