I Am
Laudamus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're out on the streets and you're looking for love
There's a voice calling you from above
Living a life in a way you don't like
The devil is ready to strike

It's your time to choose
There's no time to lose

I am, the way, the truth
I am the life
I am, your way, your truth
I am your life

In a land made of crystals with streets paved with gold
Whit hope and joy, we never grow old

Believe in the Son and you won't be denied
Don't be deceived by the great lie

Overall Meaning

These lyrics by Laudamus in their song "I Am" urge the listener to make a choice before the devil can strike. The song uses strong religious imagery to get across its message. It paints a picture of someone who is looking for love and not happy with their life. However, they are being called from above to choose a different path. The chorus emphasizes that the way, the truth, and the life are all found in "I Am," referring to God in the Jewish and Christian faiths.

The second verse of the song takes a different approach. It talks about a land made of crystals with streets paved with gold. This can be read as a metaphor for heaven, a place of eternal happiness and good things. The lyrics say that believing in the Son (referring to Jesus Christ) is the key to not being denied access to this land. The last line of the song urges the listener not to be deceived by the great lie, which is likely referring to the devil and his temptations.

Overall, the song is a call to choose a life with God and not fall into the traps set by the devil. It encourages the listener to have faith and trust that they will be rewarded in the end.
