(1950) Leonard Bernstein

|
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 a lot
|
Must I be the only one
|
Who thinks these mysterious thoughts
|
|
Some day I'll die
|
Will I ever live again
|
As a mountain lion
|
Or a rooster, 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 and the life
|
That you know and say
|
Who am I
|
|
Will I ever live again
|
As a mountain lion
|
Or a rooster, 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
|
Oh, who am I
|
