I AM

I AM

They pray          I pray
They kneel         I kneel
They cry Jesus!    I say Jesus
They weep          I cry
They laugh         I wonder
They accept        I try

For them it is enough
Why is it not for me?

Their god          is my god
Their beliefs      are my beliefs
They look          as I look
They sound         as I sound

What is it they know that
I try so hard to
But don't?

They do            I want to
They can           I cannot

        I am who I am
