I Am/Shades of Life I am black. I am white I am all skins in between I am young. I am old I am each age that has been I am scrawny. I am well fed I am starving for attention I am famous. I am cryptic I am hardly worth the mention I am short. I am height I am any frame or stature I am smart. I am challenged I am striving for a future
Chorus: The color of sky Is blues and grays The color of earth Is greens and browns The color of hope Is rainbows and purple. And the color of peace Is people together Shades of life People together Shades of life I am
I am able. I am weak I am some strength, I am none I am being. I am thought I am all things, said and done I am born. I am died I am dust of humble roots I am grace. I am pain I am labor of willed fruits I am slave. I am free
I am bonded to my life I am rich. I am poor I am wealth amid strife
(Repeat Chorus)
I am shadow. I am glory I am hiding from my shame I am hero. I am loser I am yearning for a name I am empty. I am proud I am seeking my tomorrow I am growing. I am fading I am hope amid the sorrow I am certain. I am doubtful I am desperate for solutions I am leader. I am student I am fate and evolutions
I am spirit. I am voice I am memory, not recalled I am chance. I am cause I am effort, blocked and walled I am hymn. I am heard I am reasoned without rhymes I am past. I am nearing I am present in all times I am many. I am no one I am seasoned by each being I am me. I am you I am all-souls now decreeing
