NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - I Am... I Said (Reprise)

Did you ever read about a frog

Who dreamed of bein' a king

And then became one

Well, except for the names

And a few other changes

If you talk about me,

The story's the same one



But I got an emptiness deep inside

And I've tried

But it won't let me go

And I'm not a man who likes to swear

But I never cared

For the sound of being alone



"I am"... I said

To no one there

And no one heard at all

Not even the chair

"I am"... I cried

"I am"... said I

And I am lost and I can't

Even say why



"I am"... I said

"I am"... I cried

"I am"

"I am"... I said

"I am"... I cried

"I am"
