You can never go wrong with a song from Sesame Street, and “What I Am,” sung by Will.i.am, is no exception.

The lyrics can also be interpreted as a message of reminding kids to always be themselves, no matter what.

The title of this song, “Graduation Song for Preschoolers,” is pretty straightforward: this is a sing-along song for kids that goes into all of the details of leaving behind a school year.
