Billy Gilman - I Am/Shades Of Life Lyrics
I am black, I am whiteI am all skins in betweenI am young, I am oldI am each age that has beenI am scrawny, I am well fedI am starving for attentionI am famous, I am crypticI am hardly worth the mentionI am short, I am heightI am any frame or statureI am smart, I am challengedI am striving for a futureThe colour of skyIs blues and graysThe colour of earthIs greens and brownsThe colour of hopeIs rainbows and purpleAnd the colour of peaceIs people togetherShades of lifePeople togetherShades of lifeI amI am able, I am weakI am some strength, I am noneI am being, I am thoughtI am all things, said and doneI am born, I am diedI am dust of humble rootsI am grace, I am painI am labor of willed fruitsI am slave, I am freeI am bonded to my lifeI am rich, I am poorI am wealth amid strifeThe colour of skyIs blues and graysThe colour of earthIs greens and brownsThe colour of hopeIs rainbows and purpleAnd the colour of peaceIs people togetherShades of lifePeople togetherShades of lifeI amI am shadow, I am gloryI am hiding from my shameI am hero, I am loserI am yearning for a nameI am empty, I am proudI am seeking my tomorrowI am growing, I am fadingI am hope amid the sorrowI am certain, I am doubtfulI am desperate for solutionsI am leader, I am studentI am fate and evolutionsI am spirit, I am voiceI am memory, not recalledI am chance, I am causeI am effort, blocked and walledI am hymn, I am heardI am reasoned without rhymesI am past, I am nearingI am present in all timesI am many, I am no oneI am seasoned by each beingI am me, I am youI am all-souls now decreeingThe colour of skyIs blues and graysThe colour of earthIs greens and brownsThe colour of hopeIs rainbows and purpleAnd the colour of peaceIs people togetherShades of lifePeople togetherShades of lifeI am
