I Am That I Am

I am that I am, and there

Is nothing I am not

For this I came to you to share

Who, sleeping, had forgot.

The child playing with his toys–

I am that I am.

That which pleases and annoys–

I am that I am.

The man possessed by his possessions–

I am that I am.

Confessor and the one who listens–

I am that I am.

Consciousness is my domain

I am that I am.

Unnameable, This is my Name:

I am That I am.

I the seer; I the seen.

I am that I am.

I the dreamer; I the dream.

I am that I am.

The "I am" is the secret key;

The Knowledge that will make us free.

To understand that it must be

The 'I am' that I am is me,

Is everything–but only true

If All in all includes you too.

I am that I am

And that is all that needs be said

I am that I am

It doesn't matter what you read

I am that I am and that

Is all I'll ever be.

The ground is holy where you're at

For 'I Am' is also thee.
