Lyrics
I Am With You
Words and Music by Michael Day
Copyright: Invisible Adversary Music ASCAP
Contains excerpts from Walt Whitman?s ?Crossing Brooklyn Ferry?
In the flood tide below me I see you face to face
To those hundreds crossing returning shore to shore years hence
Just as you feel when you look on the river and the sky so I felt
Hurried by the currents flow
I am with you
You men and women of a generation
I?ll be with you years hence
Just as you stood and leaned on the rail just dreaming feeling the sun
I stood dreaming too
Anticipating the moment when your train will come
To a bursting city in summer to walk with the crowd
Just as you look on the numberless masts of ships rolling in the waves
So I looked I smiled I waved
I am with you
You men and women of a generation
I?ll be with you years hence
Just as you stood and leaned on the rail just dreaming feeling the sun
I stood dreaming too
These an all else were to me the same as they are to you
These and all else were to me the same as they are to you
I am with you
You men and women of a generation
I?ll be with you years hence
You are more to me, and more in my mediations than you might suppose
