I AM (Lyrics) I cry peace Oh peace still my spirit As I pause to ask the question Who am I within this nation? Are we abandoned sheep scattered on the back of a mountain A dangerous, discordant polyphony In search for identity BRIDGE Dip into my bowl, be my guest Put your head on my shoulder if you need rest Knock upon my door when things are bad And you can open up your mind if you feel mad Say ­ those who make you suffer do me wrong CHORUS I am, not because I am I am, truly only because we are Dear God up in heaven I believe made you my sister I believe made you my brother Almighty God up in heaven So, make a decision to grapple with the friction The unrighteous divisions besieging the nation For the sake of the children are prayers of the faithful Peace, oh God ­ to pave our way ­ come on BRIDGE and CHORUS We know strong colors black and white Were lovers in the park when the sun dipped in the West last night I know that saving my own life with a cry for solidarity Is the vision I wonąt hide The wrongful killing of my child Should pierce you to the bone Deeply trouble your calm soul That you may put justice in my hand As the fear in your parents eyes Leave a storm in my heart And scatters thorns on my love mat That I may remove this fear From their eyes ­ so come on BRIDGE and CHORUS
