Billy Gilman - I Am Shades Of Life
WORDS BY MATTIE J.T.STEPANEK
MUSIC BY BRUCE ROBERTS & DAVID MALLOY
FROM THE BOOK CELEBRATE THROUGH HEARTSONGS
I am black I am white
I am all skins in between
I am young I am old
I am each age that has been
I am scrawny I am well fed
I am starving for attention
I am famous I am cryptic
I am hardly worth the mention
I am short I am height
I am any frame or stature
I am smart I am challenged
I am striving for a future
The color of sky is blues and grays
The color of earth is greens and browns
The color of hope is rainbows and purple
And the color of peace is people together
Shades of life
People together
Shades of life
I am
I am able I am weak
I am some strength I am none
I am being I am thought
I am all things said and done
I am born I am died
I am dust of humble roots
