I am
Stronger than the wind
that dares to knock me down
Is who I am
Warmer than the sun that caresses the land
Is who I am
Running with the wind and playing
in the sand is what I do...
Taller than a Mountain is how I stand.
It is who I am It is who I am
Life at it's core
Runs through my veins
All of It's history in my soul
Hot and liquid like the inside of
the volcano overflowing to make new land
It's who I am, It is who I am
Etched in the Valley and the waves in the sand
Is what I become
But.....
It's not who I am
Torn at the seams,Is what it seems
But....
It is not who I am It's not who I am
A tree in the Forest reaching for the sun
It's what I've done
Branches fallen and my heart breaks
It's all I leave behind
It is not who I am
Wiser than the Owl,Who knows when winter
comes that spring will surely follow
Patient as the leopard,silent in the tree
waits for his time to come
Sly as a fox is what I become
But...
It is not who I am
Change of seasons,
Paint the canvas of my surface;
Is who I become
Who I am is everyday
Who I am is a gift from God
The light and the dark
The Sun and the Moon
All of man is the Sum of..
That is who I am
