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

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"
