The verses take me back to Tommy and Gina. I'd like it for that, if nothing else. Except for the title at the end, I also like the chorus. There's a strong statement of self-respect in the desire to be seen as something special; as more than just "another" in a long line of something that gets lost in the crowd. Like, "I'm better than that; so I deserve better than that."

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean;
I am a rock; not just another grain of sand.
I wanna be the one you call to when you need a shoulder.
I ain't a soldier; but I'm here to take a stand.

Unfortunately, I can't see how "because we can" has anything to do with what was said before it (verse or chorus). IMO, it sounds like it just got tagged onto the end to try and turn an otherwise good song into another "power of we" statement; and the repetition of "we can" in the bridge only reinforces that opinion.
