Lyrics for Who Am I?
Who am I? Who am I? Was it all planned in advance Or was I just born by chance In July? Who on Earth am I? My friends only think of fun They're such a curious lot Must I be the only one Who thinks these mysterious thoughts? Someday I'll die Will I ever live again As a mountain lion Or a rooster, or a hen Or a robin, or a wren Or a fly? Oh, who am I? Do you believe in reincarnation? Do you believe in reincarnation? Were you ever here before? Have you ever had dreams That you knew were true? Some time, before in your life Have you ever had that experience? So you must question All the truths that you know All the love in the life That you know and say Who am I? Will I ever live again As a mountain lion Or a rooster, or a hen Or a robin, or a wren Or a fly? If I'm one of those lives That have been reincarnated again And again and again and again And again and again Oh, who am I?
