I'm a Rock Listen to the following song and complete the lyrics in the following exercise. Complete the blank spaces in the lyrics while you listen to the song. "I Am A Rock"A winter's dayIn a deep and dark DecemberI am aloneGazing from my windowTo the streets belowOn a freshly fallen, silent shroud of snowI am a rockI am an islandI've built wallsA fortress, steep and mightyThat none may penetrateI have no need of friendshipFriendship causes painIts laughter and its lovingI disdainI am a rockI am an islandDon't talk of loveWell, I've heard the words beforeIt's sleeping in my memoryI won't disturb the slumberOf feelings that have diedIf I never loved,I never would have criedI am a rockI am an islandI have my booksAnd my poetry to protect meI am shielded in my armorHiding in my roomSafe within my wombI touch no one and no one touches meI am a rockI am an islandAnd a rock feels no painAnd an island never cries What do you think the song is about? Explain your answer in detail and justify your answer. The author says "I have my books and my poetry to protect me." Why does he say this? What do you have to protect yourself when you are feeling sad or lonely? How important is friendship for you? What do you do to be a good friend? Have you ever had a "serious problem" with a friend? Describe the problem and say how that made you feel. (If you have never had one, think of a problem some of your friends have had, describe it and say how you would have felt in that situation)
