Nina Simone - Who Am I? lyrics

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
They're such a curious a lot
Must I be the only one
Who thinks these mysterious thoughts?

Someday 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 life
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?
If I'm one of those lives
That have been reincarnated again
And again, and again, and again, and again
And again oh, who am I?
