I can bend back
|
And reach the days
|
When everything was new
|
When witches were birds that lived in trees
|
When dreams were movies God made for me
|
I talked to dogs
|
I knew why trees and kids cried
|
Why snow was white why people died
|
In show and tell
|
I talked about the shapes of clouds
|
And all the schoolyard angels who protected me
|
I am here and this is mine
|
I'm everywhere flying in line
|
Always looking for a place to rest
|
I hid in trees and built my nest
|
I made my nest of buried things
|
And the roots ran like secrets
|
Through six year rings
|
I found that secret places were better places
|
Nicer places that villains could not find
|
I do not lie
|
These places are mine
|
Now I lean and bend
|
To where I begin and end
|
I am here and this is mine
|
I'm everywhere flying in line
|
I am here and this is mine
|
I'm everywhere flying in line
|
|

This Is Mine
