BILLY GILMAN - (I Am) Shades of Life Lyrics

Artist: BILLY GILMAN

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Country

  • Songwriters: David Edward Malloy, Bruce Roberts, Mattie Stepanek

I am black, I am white, I am all skins in between
I am young, I am old, I am each age that has been
I am scrawny, I am well fed, I am starving for attention
I am famous, I am cryptic, I am hardly worth the mention

I am short, I am height, I am any frame or stature
I am smart, I am challenged, I am striving for a future

The color of sky is blues and grays
The color of the earth is greens and browns
The color of hope is rainbows and purple
And the color of peace is people together
(Shades of life)
People together
(Shades of life)

I am able, I am weak, I am some strength, I am none
I am being, I am thought, I am all things said and done
I am born, I am died, I am dust of humble roots
I am grace, I am pain, I am labor of willed fruits

I am slave, I am free, I am bonded to my life
I am rich, I am poor, I am wealth amid strive

The color of sky is blues and grays
The color of the earth is greens and browns
The color of hope is rainbows and purple
And the color of peace is people together
(Shades of life)
People together
(Shades of life)

I am shallow, I am glory, I am hiding from my shame
I am hero, I am loser, I am yearning for a name
I am empty, I am proud, I am seeking my tomorrow
I am growing, I am fading, I am hope amid the sorrow

I am certain, I am doubtful, I am desperate for solutions
I am leader, I am student, I am fate and evolutions

I am spirit, I am voice, I am memory not recalled
I am chance, I am cause, I am effort blocked and walled
I am him, I am her, I am reason without rhymes
I am past, I am hearing, I am present in all times

I am many, I am no one, I am season by each being
I am me, I am you, I am all souls now decreeing

The color of sky is blues and grays
(The color of sky is blues and grays)
The color of the earth is greens and browns
(I am)
The color of hope is rainbows and purple
And the color of peace is people together
(Shades of life)
(I am)
People together
(Shades of life)
(I am)

People together
(Shades of life)
(I am)
People together
(Shades of life)
(I am)
People together
(Shades of life)
(I am)

I am
(I am)
I am
(I am)
Shades of life
(I am)
