Alex Lifeson - I Am The Spirit Lyrics

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
