I Am

I am
You are
Near here
Not distant
Not far

You're depressed
You want to sail
To fly a little
Touch air and water
And this is where I need to be for me

I am
You are
Near here
Not distant
Not far

What I'm holding in my hand
My heart, my head so tight
Is the sight of morningland
At the far shore of night
This is where I need to be for me

Here you can't help me till I'm done
No you can't help me raising
Building, making my myth

This I see, and yet I make you
Captor jailguard thief
Locking my heart head and mind, too
Sealed beyond relief

Contradiction, opposition
Puts me in a safe position
Guilty helpless victimized
By the virtues I have prized
But this is where I need to be for me

Here you can't help me till I'm done
No you can't help me raising
Building, making my myth
No you can't help me till I'm done
With what I need to do
For myself, with and by myself

No, you can't help me till I'm done
With what I need to do
No, you can't help me till I'm done
With what I need to do

I am
You are
Near here
Not distant
Not far
