Billy Gilman - I AmShades 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 fed

I am starving for attention

I am famous, I am cryptic

I am hardly worth a 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 colour of sky

Is blues and grays

The colour of earth

Is greens and browns

The colour of hope

Is rainbows and purple

And the colour 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

The colour of sky

Is blues and grays

The colour of earth

Is greens and browns

The colour of hope

Is rainbows and purple

And the colour peace

Is people together

Shades of life

People together

Shades of life

I am

I am shadow, I am glory

I am hiding from my shame

I am hero, I am loser

I am rearning 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 colour of sky

Is blues and grays

The colour of earth

Is greens and browns

The colour of hope

Is rainbows and purple

And the colour peace

Is people together

Shades of life

People together

Shades of life

I am
