I Am

Since the beginning of time 
  Man has search for the great answer 
  It was given 
  Today I give it once more 

  Sometimes you ask me a question 
  You ask why I talk so little 
  I hardly ever speak of love 
  Don't side you and smiling so bittle 

  You think of me all the time 
  You eat me, spew me and leave me 
  Come forth, see through your ears 
  Cause today I'll challenge your sight 

  I am the star of the starlights 
  I am the child of the moon 
  Yes, I am your harred of love 
  I am too late and too soon 

  Yes, I am the fear of failure 
  I am the power of will 
  I am the bluff of the gambler 
  I am.  I move, I'm still 

  Yes, I am your sacrifice 
  The placard that spells "forbidden" 
  Blood in the eyes of the vampire 
  I am the curse unbidden 

  Yes, I am the black and the indian 
  I am the WASP and the jew 
  I am the Bible and the I-Ching 
  The red, the white and the blue 

  Why do you ask me a question 
  Asking is not going to show 
  That I am all things in existence 
  I am, I was, I go 

  You have me with you forever 
  Not knowing if it's bad or good 
  But know that I am in yourself 
  Why don't you just meet me in the woods 

  For I am the eaves of the roof 
  I am the fish and the fisher 
  "A" is the first of my name 
  Yes, I am the hope of the wisher 

  Yes, I am the housewife and the whore 
  Hunting the markets asleep 
  I am shallow, wide and deep 

  Yes, I am the law of the lema 
  I am the fang of the shark 
  I am the eyes of the blindman 
  I am the light in the dark 

  Oh, yes, I am bitter in your tongue 
  Mother, father and the riddle 
  I am the son yet the come 
  Yes, I'm the beginning the end and the middle
