Lyrics

I Am Anastasia

[Verse 1]

I found your name in a book

And in that book a letter

Were the words of a girl who said that she was lead away

And left for dead but somehow she survived it

How was it no one would believe that

You were part of their world, a different world

One they denied you

If I could help you I would help you now

And you can speak through me

[Chorus]

I am

I am

I am Anastasia

I am

I am

I am Anastasia

[Post-Chorus]

Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia

Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia

[Verse 2]

I'm haunted by a girl whose life's locked in these pages

But through these words she will be free through me

I know, I know we won't forget her

She can speak through me

[Chorus]

I am

I am

I am Anastasia

I am

I am

I am Anastasia

[Post-Chorus]

Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia

Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia

[Outro]

I am

I am

I am

I am Anastasia
