YES
Melissa Lyrics

The song "Yes I Am" by Melissa Etheridge is a love song that speaks about the commitment between two people who come together in a world where darkness and uncertainty are prevalent. The lyrics depict the lovers' restlessness due to the lack of answers, and the transient nature of relationships in society. However, the singer invites her lover to lay beside her, to dream and sleep with the lamb, and to show that their passion and commitment do not fall into this shallow and hollow category. The question raised is whether the singer is her lover's passion, promise, and end, and she confidently asserts her affirmation saying, "Yes, I am," which is the title of the song.

The lyrics of the song suggest that the relationship between the two is more than physical attraction, but rather, it is a union of hearts, minds, and spirits. The singer perceives that the relationship they share is unbreakable and divine, and their love can sanctify their bodies and souls. The singer assures her lover that they are connected on a spiritual level, and there is nothing in this world that can come between them unless, of course, there is divine intervention.

Moreover, the singer expresses confidence, determination, and resilience in the face of any adversity, stating that she will stand firm in the tempest and ride destiny's trail. She asserts that she has faith in their relationship even when confronted with the harsh realities of life. She invites her lover to be one in the motion with her and to comprehend the depth of their love, and never to question their love again, for the singer is her lover's passion, promise, and end.
