i am, become... br i am the stillness of the mountains, br and the whisperings of the grasses. br i am the kiss of the river, br running o'er stones and dirt. br i am the magnificent eagle, br but no less the sparrow... br i am the wind that weeps br for the land of the free! br br i am concrete and glass, br the great cities you built. br i am factories and mills, br i am trucks hauling freight. br i am rows of corn, br your tractor, your mule. br i am brick houses built, br row upon row... br br i am breasts and hands, br i am lips and legs wrapped. br i am sweetness and wetness, br i am heat and the moan.. br i am the cave of desire, br the ride long, deep, and hard. br i am the dance of the lovers br in the great room of darkness. br br i am children taught by lamplight, br books written by the candle. br i am integrity and dignity br handed down from generation to generation. br i am discernment and questioning, br and the prayers of all traditions. br i am the hope that listens, br hears, and cares.... br br i am the magic belief br that awaits the star, br and the birth... br the faith that demands br that living goes on... br i am all that you are br given without holding back... br i am tomorrow believing in today! br br i am, i dance, i make love, i sing... br i am America's desire, br i am, become....
