(Words written by Leonard Bernstein)

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.
They're such a curious lot.
Must I be the only one,
Who thinks these mysterious thoughts,
Some day I'll die?

Will I ever live again?
As a mountain lion?
Or a rooster or 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 lifes
That you know and say
Who am I?

Will I ever live again?
As a mountain lion?
Or a rooster or a hen,
Or a robin, or a wren, or a fly?
Oh, who am I?
