I Am The Song
by Jonathan Kraft

I create my own rhythm
The power to build is in me
and so when I’m pushed to sing a different tune
I fight to sing and make the life that I see

Not some other drummer or big brass horn
or banging cymbal or faded tune
I develop the might to have the right
to be allowed to walk under any moon

I am the song in my own life
the color, the light, the tree, flower, and bee
I mentally stay where I can really play
for it is then that I know I am free.
