I Am (Gita)

Since the beginning of time

Man has search for the great answer

It was given

Today I give it once more

Sometimes you ask me a question

You ask why I talk so little

I hardly ever speak of love

Don't side you and smiling so brittle

You think of me all the time

You eat me, spew me and leave me

Come forth, see through your ears

Cause today I'll challenge your sight

I am the star of the starlights

I am the child of the Moon

Yes, I am your hatred of love

I am too late and too soon

Yes, I am the fear of failure

I am the power of will

I am the bluff of the gambler

I am. I move, I'm still

Yes, I am your sacrifice

The placard that spells forbidden

Blood in the eyes of the vampire

I am the curse unbidden

Yes, I am the black and the Indian

I am the WASP and the jew

I am the Bible and the I-Ching

The red, the white and the blue

Why do you ask me a question?

Asking is not going to show

That I am all things in existence

I am, I was, I go

You have me with you forever

Not knowing if it's bad or good

But know that I am in yourself

Why don't you just meet me in the woods?

For I am the eaves of the roof

I am the fish and the fisher

"A" is the first of my name

Yes, I am the hope of the wisher

Yes, I am the housewife and the whore

Hunting the markets asleep

I am the devil at your door

I'm shallow, wide and deep

I am the law of Thelema

I am the fang of the shark

Yes, I am the eyes of the blind man

Yes, I am the light in the dark

Yes, I am bitter in your tongue

Mother, father and the riddle

Yes, I am the son yet to come

Yes, I'm the beginning, the end and the middle
