Lyrics

I Am I (demonstracion natural)

I am I
I am I

I see clearly with focused eyes
I stand firmly on rooted earth

My heaving chest
My rushing blood
My natural sweat
is wafting free

My purpose fixed
My will is strong
I am I

I'll scale the crest that bakes and cleaves
the living flesh without reprieve

I am I
I am in defiance

I'll scale the cliff that bakes and cleaves
It has the power to fool the hearty

I stand firmly on rooted earth
My heaving chest my rushing blood

I am I
A strong being
I see clearly with focused eyes
I stand firmly on rooted earth
I will survive

	Big hills I guess that this is the sort of determination that you must feel to climb Mount Denali. Really felt the emotion in the vox (not sure about the "My natural sweat is wafting free" but hey I'm no lyricist). Loved the Spanish guitar part. Very evocative and well executed.

Sweat v sweat
Ever since I saw Franco Nero mouth "C'est Moi" in Camelot, I wanted to hear him add a phrase about his natural sweat. Natural sweat as opposed to toxic stress-induced sweat. Natural sweat is not as offensive as sweat caused by work-related deadlines. A man ascending a mountain is in tune with nature and his own being. Now it is true that he may have left loved ones behind but that is another matter. For the day, he is master of the elements, master of his destiny, willing to laugh at the throat of death.

To sweat or not .....
Yeah I know what you mean. Sweat from good honest had work of physical exercise is defiantly different from the stale sweet of slaving over a PC all day.
When you listen to the song it doesn't stick out just when I read the lyrics at first. More for being unusual then wrong in any way.

	No sweat I knew it was "wrong" when I penned it but I thrive on delivering the unexpected and awkward. Who knows...maybe I was singing an English translation of a Segovian love letter. Well...not really. I appreciate your reply. --- http://www.schletty.com/song

	Doh! Erm that should have read "More for being unusual than wrong" (not then wrong) Sorry for the confusion I was not trying to say that it was wrong. --- It's the spaces in between that count. Check out my latest song called POD Killer
