I Am The Spirit

Alex Lifeson


I am the star-filled 
Sky in winter
I am the starry-eyed 
Who stares 
I am the cold
Grey rock of mountains
I am the one who climbs 
Those stairs 
I am the sea
So calm yet fearsome 
I am the one 
To seize the chance 
I am the air 
So pure yet foul 
I am the one 
Who takes a stance 

All you have is all there is 
All there is is what you make 
All you make is all there is
All for your own sake

I am the building
Tall and handsome 
I am the builder
The one who cares
I am the painting 
On the canvas 
I am the painter
The one who shares
I am the trees 
So strong and silent 
I am the earth
All life to give 
I am the sun
Both lover and killer 
I am the child
Through you, I live 

I have a need 
For building on tomorrow 
I have a need to begin today 
I have no time 
For living some past sorrow
I just want to get on my way 
You only have you 
I only have me 
You lonely with you
Me Lonely with me 

You can give it to me
I will take it from you 
You'll always havie it from me
We'll be always

I am the wind
Both warm and freezing
I am the truth
Not always fair 
I am the clouds
Static yet fleeting
I am the heart
A burden to bear 
I am the man 
For all of the seasons 
I am the boy 
Who never fears 
I am the woman 
Who knows all the reasons
I am the girl 
Who sheds the tears
