Amitava Chakrabarti
Who am I is something i know not
Trying to answer though, trying a lot
I live by me and die in my arms
I smell the sea and swear by its charms
The sand beneath my feet stays right there
The sky holds me tight, with love and care
Who am I... as I ask myself
I am a volcano burning within itself
I am the river flowing through ages
I am the tree, listening to the sages
I am the smile in the face of the child
I am the horse, running in the wild
But who am I, I know not as yet
I am the sun, not willing to set
I am the tears in the eyes of seperation
And the joy in the Lord's new born creation
I am the bee on the lonesome flower
And I am the hurry in the ending hour
But I will learn soon, about who am I
I will break free to touch the sky
I will not be just another soul
Burning bright in life's own coal
Eternity shall define the spirit deep
I shall smile always and refuse to sleep.
