Story Behind The Song
Wrote it for my second CD during a very creative period in the mid 90s.
Song Description
When one IS or rather becomes the feeling or attribute, then one really experiences what this attibute means. Thus, when I AM love becomes more powerful than when I simply have love or are in love...etc..

Lyrics
WHEN I AM
When I am faith I can walk on water
When I am faith I can make it to the shore
When I am faith my feet can never falter
Up to the day I won't be walking here no more
(2x) When I am faith, as I am right now
(Faith, when I am fa-ai-aith, when I am Faith, Faith right now)
When I am Love I can mend a heart that's broken
When I am love, I can open any door
When I am love, my heart becomes the token
To show the whole wide world that it's love we came here for
(2x) When I am love, Love as I am right now
(Love, when I am lo - o -ove - When I am love, Love as I am
When I am love, love right now)
When we are trust, we can count on one another
When we are trust only truth can be told
When we are trust, we're like sister and brother
Growing together and never ever growing old
(2x) When we are trust, Trust as we are right now
(Trust, when we are tru - uh - ust,
Trust, when we are tru-u-ust - when we are trust, trust right now)
Faith, love and trust are more than words on a page
They need the "you and me" to find their way
When we all demonstrate God's loving kindness
All we could ever want is here in side us
When we are joy we can laugh in the sun
When we are light we can shine on everyone
When we are truth we can see eye to eye
When we are one, we can spread our wings and fly
(2x) When we are Faith as we are right now
Faith - when we are Fai-ai-aith, When we are Faith, Faith right now
(2x) When we are Love as we are right now
Love - when we are Lo-o-ove, When we are Love, Love right now
1x When we are Trust as we are right now
Trust - when we are Tru-uh-ust, When we are Trust, Trust right now
When we are faith we can walk on water
When we are faith we can make it to the shore
When we are faith we will tell our sons and daughters
When they are faith they can never want for more
