I Am You
--words and music by Michael Stanley

I have seen the skyline burning
And I have watched the deals go down
Lost myself in seasons turning
And I have walked on sacred ground
Lived through nights that never ended
I have had belief suspended
Through and through
But after all is lost and won
After all is said and done
I am you...

I have taken foolish chances
I have watched my leaders lie
Fallen hard for love's advances
And walked away when I should have tried
I have filled my heart with hate
Cast it out 'fore it's too late
What else can you do?
Times like these you must remember
No quarter, no surrender
I am you...

	I'm gonna hold on and see how this plays
	Brother to brother till the end of my days
	And that song you've been singing
	Well it pulls me on through
	I am you...

I have stopped instead of started
And I have watched my children grow
Stood by graves of friends departed
And found out just how much 
I do not know
Followed when I should have led
I have left too much unsaid
Sad but true
And after all is lost and won
After all is said and done
I am you...

	I'm gonna hold on, gonna see how this plays
	Brother to brother till the end of my days
	And that song you've been singing
	Well it pulls me on through
	'Cause I am you...

	I'm gonna hold on, gonna see how this plays
	Brother to brother till the end of my days
	And that song you've been singing
	Well it pulls me on through
	I am you...

	I am you...

	I am you...
