i am the fire under the road
i am your body and i am your soul
i am your eyes and i am your noes
i am the smell and i am the rose
i am the loss and i am the gain
i am the thorn in the lion's mane
i am the arm and the broken bone
i am together and i am alone
i am the flesh and the cotton cloth
i am the oak and i am the moss
i am the forest and the busy street
i am the melody and the beat
i am the oil spilled in the sea
i am the spider and i am the bee
i am the shadow in the afternoon sun
i am nothing and i am one
i am the barley and i am the wheat
i am your freedom and your slavery
i am around you yet i am unknown
i am a stranger and i am home
i am the coyote's snarling teeth
i am the morning waves on the beach
i am your lover and i am your friend
i am beginning and i am end

Once there was a girl named flower
she grew from a seed in the ground fertilized by her mother
every single day, she grew a little bit, a little bit toward the sky
dreaming of the day when she'd jump over her little town and fly
once there was a boy named Jack
he lived with his mother and his sister and his grandmother
in a one roomed shack
and he was the smallest little boy in his class
but his funny little voice, lifted him tall
and he made all the other kids laugh
these are the people in my dreams
memories that seem like they never happened
to me
my friend Flower, she's just like any other girl
wants to be the singer in a band that tours round and round
every night she prays to her mother buried down in the ground
and once a week she does the washing in a bucket,
just like any other girl
my friend Jack, he's just like any other boy
likes to save his cash to by candy after class from the corner store
every night he lays down a mat to go to sleep on the floor
and once a week he takes a bath in a bucket,
just like any other boy
these are the people in my dreams
memories that seem like they never happened
to me
these are the people in my dreams
memories that seem like they never happened
to me
