To be me awake in my soul and in my mind;

To be me of my whole and my parts combined;

To be, to be, to be—

Is me, is me, is me,

Forever, now,

Again and again.

Me by myself,

No one needing,

For I, I sing,

Sing and sing and sing!

To be me awake in my soul and my mind

Is me, is me, is me!

Forever, now and again, I see—

To be, to be, to be!
