Joe Pug - Hymn 35 Lyrics

I am the day
I am the dawn
I am the darkness coming on

I am once
I am twice
I am the whole
I'm just a slice

Some call me gone
Some call me here
None're wrong
None're near

I am right now
I am back then
I will return
Don't ask me when

I am the disappointed kiss
I am the unexpected harvest
I am the old Kentucky home
I am... the son who runs the farthest

I have done wrong
I will do wrong
There's nothing wrong with doing wrong

I am faith
I am belief
Except for when I'm not
I am the teeth of champions
I am the rust of water rot

And I am sleep
I am breathing
I'm the missing of the passing season

I am the brush
I am the strokes
I'm sickness come to the best of folks

I am renewed
I am just made
I am unchanging
I'm a pasture fenced about the edge
I Dakota thunder raging

And by my shoes and by my feet and by my soul and wonder
I am the tracks we laid above
I am the tunnel running under
