(Alex Lifeson) 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 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 k**er 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 I need to have a strength in my conviction I need to have the final say I need to make some sense in my selection 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 have 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
