I Am…You Are

Are you a victim?
Am I a friend?
Requires some reflection
Obtain the means
Justify the end
Depends on your connections

Treat you like a sister
Like a lover
Defies my explanation
Train the animal to cross that line
Requires sublimation

"I am", you said
"You are", I said
I am, you are
You are, I am

You throw me up with every move
A tribal right of passage
It's in my heart
In my guts
The soothing of the savage

Where's the answer?
Is it in the stars?
Wishing and praying
It's in your word
It's in your touch
All the things worth saying

[Guitar and Violin solo]

I am, you are
You are, I am
I am, you are
You are, I am
"I am", you said
"You are", I said

[Guitar and Violin solo]

I am, you are
You are, I am
I am, you are
You are, I am
