I am the day, I am the dawn
I am the darkness comin' on
And I am once, I am twice
I am the whole, I'm just a slice
Some call me gone, some call me here
None are wrong, none are near
I am right now, I am back then
I will return, don't ask me when
I am the disappointed kiss
I am the unexpected harvest
I am the old Kentucky home
I am the son who runs the farthest
I have done wrong, I will do wrong
There's nothin' wrong with doin' wrong
And I am faith, I am belief except for when I'm not
I am the teeth of champions
I am rust and water rot
And I am sleep, I am breathin'
I'm the missin' of the passin' seasons
I am the brush, I am the strokes
I'm sickness come to the best of folks
I am renewed, I am just made
I am unchangin'
I'm a pasture fenced about the edge
I am Dakota thunder ragin'
And buy my shoes and buy my feet
And buy my soul and wonder
I am the tracks we've laid above
I am the tunnel runnin' under
