Lyrics
I AM THAT I AM
Something in my heart tells me you love me
Something in my soul tells me you're here
I trust, I believe in your love
Ay ay ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ay ay ay
I am, I am
I am that I am
(repeat)
If I ask you why oh why
Why do loved ones have to die
Through my tears comes a reply
I am that I am
You laid the earth's foundation
You hold the sea back from the land
You separated the light from dark
You gave understanding to the mind
Ay ay ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ay ay ay
I am, I am
I am that I am
(repeat)
I commemorate a life
Others will do the same for me
So the circle of love goes on
We build a community of hope.
Life is but a moment's time
In the vast expanse sublime
So I trust, believe this sign
I am that I am
Ay ay ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ay ay ay
I am, I am
I am that I am
(repeat 3x)
