I AM


I AM

 

I am me and can be no other

I wonder where I will be ten years from now

I hear God talking to me

I see the Devil approaching me

I am me and can be no other

 

I pretend the pain doesn’t hurt

I feel God pushing a forceful wind behind me

I touch a gleaming pot of gold

I worry about my future

I cry for my best friend

I am me and can be no other

 

I understand people hate me

I say Love will reposition the hate

I dream for no more financial problems

I try to make my mom proud

I hope success for my team and me

I am me and can be no other
