Jerry van Kooten,
Twelfth Night

I Am
all the truth is all we have to give
glory now! glory now!
praises...
we touch the heart and soon the need begins to rise
we touch the air and feel alive, so...
shout "joy"
shout I, I, I am!
time to be again
be true joy
shout I, I, I am!
turn and live again from the heart

you will run and I will take your side
when the years criticise...
changes
when grown accustomed to the chair the table turns
we reach for life and soon we learn to...
shout "joy"
shout I, I, I am!
learn to be again
be true joy
shout I, I, I am!
turn and live again

go slow
take your time
it's only words
rise up!
say "this is mine"
give an inch, they take a mile
and you don't have to beg
you just have to scream "mercy"!

surely it's not crime to state your pride
celebrate! celebrate!
slender the lines between material and fantasy
we reach for what we can believe
so shout "joy"
shout I, I, I am
