**************************************************************
I Shall Ever Be Who I Am
O, my love, wherever you dwell
I wish you well, I wish you well,
With whomever you choose to live
Whatever goals you wish achieve
I shall ever stay by my words
To be amidst my shining herds.
Chorus
You may flutter a million miles
You may scan the African wild,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
You may fly to the distant moon
You may orbit the earth quite soon,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
But in whatever clime I am
I shall ever be who I am.
True love need not beggarly be
True love like a fly does not flee,
But ever stands the test of time,
Both in winter and spring does shine
Like a real gem carved in gold
And does not ever become cold.
Chorus
You may flutter a million miles
You may scan the African wild,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
You may fly to the distant moon
You may orbit the earth quite soon,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
But in whatever clime I am
I shall ever be who I am.
True love does not roll like a stone,
Dipped down a black hole, I`m not blown,
My heart awhile may take a toll,
But soon my soul will become whole,
Though your black hole love I shall miss
Soon I`ll surface from this abyss.
Chorus
You may flutter a million miles
You may scan the African wild,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
You may fly to the distant moon
You may orbit the earth quite soon,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
But in whatever clime I am
I shall ever be who I am.
