Liner Notes

I AM MUSIC

I was here before life began

In the wind and on the waves of the seas

Lying on the flowers—dancing through the trees

I am music

I am ageless—I am love

And when the first man came

I was there lying in this brain

I gave to him my treasure

I lifted him in pain

I am music

I am timeless—I am love

Music is the soul of man

Giving when the words can deceive

Precious as the wind and rain

Living in his laughter and his tears

I have led the young men of many years

On to battle fields

Blasting sounds of vict'ry in their ears

Soothing mothers' tears

I am music

I am comfort—I am love
