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 by my shoes and by my feet And by my soul and wonder I am the tracks we've laid above I am the tunnel runnin' under
