I Am/Shades of Life - Billy Gilman

I Am/Shades of Life Lyrics

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 mentionI am short, I am height, I am any frame or stature
I am smart, I am challenged, I am striving for a futureThe color of sky is blues and grays
The color of the 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 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 fruitsI am slave, I am free, I am bonded to my life
I am rich, I am poor, I am wealth amid striveThe color of sky is blues and grays
The color of the 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 shallow, 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 sorrowI am certain, I am doubtful, I am desperate for solutions
I am leader, I am student, I am fate and evolutionsI am spirit, I am voice, I am memory not recalled
I am chance, I am cause, I am effort blocked and walled
I am him, I am her, I am reason without rhymes
I am past, I am hearing, I am present in all timesI am many, I am no one, I am season by each being
I am me, I am you, I am all souls now decreeingThe color of sky is blues and grays
(The color of sky is blues and grays)
The color of the earth is greens and browns
(I am)
The color of hope is rainbows and purple
And the color of peace is 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)
People together
(Shades of life)
(I am)I am
(I am)
I am
(I am)
Shades of life
(I am)
