I Am/Shades of Life (Album Version)

I Am/Shades of Life (Album Version) - Billy Gilman

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

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 amidst strife

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 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

The color of sky

Is blues and grays

Color of sky

Is blues and grays

The colour 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

People together

Shades of life

I am

People together

Shades of life

I am

People together

Shades of life

I am

I am

I am

I am

Shades of life

I am
