I Am

(album: Food For The Mind - 1971)

What's become of apple pie
And mother's friend up in the sky
Who watches over flowers as they grow?
Oh, today is such a happy day
For the Yankee Doodle Drummers passed away

When grandma sent her sons to fight
The flowers never got up tight
They stood and died
Like heroes in the sun
Let us cheer
For the world is free
Without peace, without love
But we're free

I am you
I am me
I am us
I am we
I am a body and a mind
I am a clock
With so little time
I am love
I am hate
I am here just for today
I am man
And I am wise
I am death
And I am light

Bubble gum
Banana rides
To 1910 where Jesus hides
Among the fruited plains of world war I
Yes, the world's become a better place
Let us hail the superhuman master race

The cineramic movie queen
Is just about to make a scene
Please, try and understand him if you can
Oh, they say the end is almost near
Let me in, let me stay
Please, Mary dear

I am you
I am me
I am us
I am we
I am a body and a mind
I am a clock
With so little time
I am love
I am hate
I am here just for today
I am man
And I am wise
I am death
And I am light
