I am the day, I am the dawn |
|
I am the darkness coming on |
|
And I am once, I am twice |
|
I am the whole, I'm just a slice |
|
Some call me gone, some call me here. |
|
None are wrong. None are near. |
|
I am right now, I am back then, |
|
I will return, don't ask me when |
|
I am the disappointed kiss |
|
I am the unexpected harvest |
|
I am the old Kentucky home |
|
I am the son that runs the farthest |
|
I have done wrong, I will do wrong |
|
There's nothing wrong with doing wrong |
|
And I am Faith, I am Belief |
|
Except for when I'm not |
|
I am the teeth of champions |
|
I am rust and water rot |
|
(And I am sleep, I am breathing |
|
I'm the missing of the passing seasons) |
|
I am the brush, I am the strokes |
|
I'm sickness come to the best of folks |
|
I am renewed, I am just made |
|
I am unchanging |
|
I'm a pasture fenced about the edge |
|
I am Dakota thunder raging |
|
And by my shoes and by my feet |
|
and by my soles I wander |
|
I am the grass we've laid above |
|
I am the tunnel running under |
