[MICHAEL, spoken]
Wendy, I'd so like if you sing me a song for sleep.

[WENDY, spoken]
Close your eyes, Michael, and I'll sing.

[Verse]
Funny, the thoughts I have at night
So different from the thoughts I have by day
The moment Mama switches off the light
A thousand different questions come my way
And stay

[Refrain]
Who am I?
Was it all planned in advance
Or was I just born by chance
In July?

Oh, who on Earth am I?
Did I ever live before
As a mountain lion or
As a fly?

My friends only think of fun
They're all such incurable tots
Can I be the only one
Who thinks these mysterious thoughts?

Someday I'll die
Will I ever live again
As a rooster or a hen
Or a lion in a den
Or a robin or a wren
Or a fly?
Oh, who am I?


*** Nina Simone version ***
Who am I
Who am I
Was it all planned in advance
Or was I just born by chance in July

Who on earth am I
My friends only think of fun
There're such a curious lot
Must I be the only one
Who thinks thses mysterious thoughts

Some day I'll die
Will I ever live again
As a mountain lion
Or a rooster, a hen
Or a robin, or a wren, or a fly
Oh, who am I

Do you believe in reincarnation
Do you believe in reincarnation
Were you ever here before
Have you ever had dreams
That you knew were true
Some time before in your life
Have you ever had that experience
So you must question

All the truths that you know
All the love and the life
That you know and say
Who am I

Will ever live again
As a mountain lion
Or a rooster, or a hen
Or a robin, or a wren, or a fly
If I'm one of those lives
That have been reincarnated again
And again, and again,....
Oh, who am I
