Janis Ian - I Am The One Lyrics

Janis Ian Lyrics

"I Am The One"

I am the rays of the rising sun
Snow on the mountains of the moon
The far-flung canopy of stars
The shadows of late afternoon

I am the wisdom of the sage
I am the refuge of all who weep
I am the mother of all who live
I am the promises I keep

I am the one who sits with sorrow
I am the one who feels your pain
I am the hope of your tomorrow
When all is lost... I still remain
I am the one... who will remain

I am the seed that longs to bloom
The river yearning for the sea
The heartfelt hope of every womb
I am the faith you place in me

I am the silence and the sound
The gentle rain that breaks the stone
I am the dream of love unbound
I am the way that calls you home

I am the one who sits with sorrow
I am the one who feels your pain
I am the hope of your tomorrow
When all is lost... I still remain
I am the one... who will remain
