I Was, I Am & I Will Be

from Songs For A Fragile Planet by Martin John Milner

lyrics

I’ve seen the planet, what it looks like from space
I’ve seen a million soldiers, blind duty and faith.
I’ve seen the desert, it’s spreading in my heart
I’ve seen the rainforest, it’s tearing me apart

I’ve been happy,
I’ve been sad,
I’ve been sane,
Maybe I’ve been mad.
I’ve been chained,
I’ve been free:
I was, I am, and I will be

I’ve seen the supermarket I’ve seen the shops,
I’ve seen the one-way system, the one that never stops.
I’ve seen the love of those who are afraid,
I have made the mistake of being afraid.

I’ve been happy,
I’ve been sad,
I’ve been sane,
Maybe I’ve been mad.
I’ve been chained,
I’ve been free:
I was, I am, and I will be

[instrumental]

I’ve seen the planet, what it looks like from space
I’ve seen a million soldiers, blind duty and faith.
I’ve seen the love of those who are afraid,
I have made the mistake of being afraid.

I’ve been happy,
I’ve been sad,
I’ve been sane,
Maybe I’ve been mad.
I’ve been chained,
I’ve been free:
I was, I am, and I will be.
