I Am That I Am

1968




You've probably seen me before
Travelin' around
With my eyes to the ground.
Seems like a lifetime or more...
The faces I met
Were the places I left.

Looking for the truth in a lie
Searching for the truth
That was in me all the time.

You'll probably see me again
While crickets are playing
Their song to the moon
The darkness
Reveals the lonliest sounds,
And I'm there.

Looking for the truth in a lie.
Searching for the truth
That was in me all the time.
