Janis Ian — I Am the One

[Verse 1] I am the rays of the rising sun Snow on the mountains of the moon The far-flung canopy of stars The shadows of late afternoon [Verse 2] I am the wisdom of the sage I am the refuge of all who weep I am the mother of all who live I am the promises I keep [Chorus] I am the one who sits with sorrow I am the one who feels your pain I am the hope of your tomorrow When all is lost, I still remain I am the one who will remain [Verse 3] I am the seed that longs to bloom The river yearning for the sea The heartfelt hope of every womb I am thе faith you place in me [Verse 4] I am the silеnce and the sound The gentle rain that breaks the stone I am the dream of love unbound I am the way that calls you home [Chorus] I am the one who sits with sorrow I am the one who feels your pain I am the hope of your tomorrow When all is lost, I will remain I am the one who will remain I am the one who sits with sorrow I am the one who feels your pain I am the hope of your tomorrow When all is lost, I will remain I am the one, I still remain
