I Am

Walking out alone

The night fits like a stone inside a boot heel

Hot and cold winds blow

No one ís here to know the way I feel

The corner I once knew brings me into view again

So I could stay out late, find new bones to break

But then I'd be dragging home admitting

I am because You are I am

I recognize clearly I see

I am because You are I am

I am in You and You are in me

Spent too many days devising many ways trying to escape you

Played too many roles

Dug too many holes just big enough to fall into

And I could linger here, hoping to disappear in excuses

Come morning shining face

I'd be crawling to the place

I call home, where first you cut me loose

I am because You are I am

I recognize clearly I see

I am because You are I am

I am in You and You are in me

The places that I've carried You, I wouldn't take a dog

Stop and calmly think of that

Tear this church down to its cornerstone

And build it up again

Build me up again

I am because You are I am

I recognize clearly I see

I am because You are I am

I am in You and You are in me
