I'm not my hair 是India Arie 的一首歌曲.歌曲的最后一段歌词:
Breast cancer and chemotherapy
Took away her crown and glory
She promised God if she was to survive
She would enjoy everyday of her life
On national television her diamond eyes are sparkling
Baldheaded like a full moon shining
Singing out to the whole wide world like hey.
根据Arie说是观看了Melissa Lou Etheridge在2005年的格莱美颁奖会上的演唱后有感而写的.当时,Melissa 因患乳癌,接受化疗后掉光头发.她觉得人没有头发依然可以才华洋溢,因为智慧是在头颅里,而不是头发!
所以,I'm not my hair 可以被理解为
我的头发代表不了我.
