Who am I?
I am Art, and Art is me
I built the home of your grandfathers,
I sing for you, I cook your food; I sit on your house shelves
Beautiful ladies like me to touch their faces
History looks for me and chases me in the ground
I survived way more than the Phoenicians and the pharaoh
I sleep at the bottom of the lakes, and relax on river shores
Who am I?
