I AM

Intro
The aftermath has left me dead
Image of a cross above my head
Committed treason on my own
I sacrificed myself in vain
Leaving my family in pain
I can’t turn back now
Verse 1
Why did you leave us
We would have gotten you help
You were so important
The glue in our fabric
Now your head hangs there lifeless
Rotating loosely
Bridge 1
I wanted you to fly high
Now I’ll never rest wondering if I did my best
Verse 2
Your son does not sleep
Your daughter is never awake

I am slipping away
A light appears slowly
Bridge 2
I feel completely covered
Knowing you are blameless
And that we will reunite again
Verse 3
Stench of death surrounds you
Its presence rattling through you
Funeral home doors opening
Provide a casket with a view
Trudging up the hill
Lower me into the dirt
I hear the shovel dig in
As the dirt hits the lid
I thought it would bring them peace
Look at the destruction I brought them
Verse 4
Oh God I cry out to you
Please take all of their hands
And lift them up to you
Please Lord show them the path
And light the way
All of your love and compassion
Will make them complete
Verse 5
You know I will
My fire burns bright
I will cover your mistake in my own blood
Life I will breathe into all of them
Fear not
I will flatten these mountains
All things below the sky are mine
Nothing moves without my knowledge
And I have seen
Every event that has and will come to pass
Verse 6
Below is not my only domain
The very fabric of the universe is my own creation
This task you ask of me
Will be completed because I am bigger than all
The only explanation is to call me by name
And that is
I AM
