Ive walked through halls without any doors
Ive seen the cracks under the floors
I know there are places that I'll never go, and I know that I cant mend what you cant sew
however we lay in struddled sunlight, tossing and turning and none too bright
but why the hell shouldnt we have fun, toss the die and see what comes
theres never a time to skip, never to glance, never to run, never to shine, to be blind
We have to grasp and roll and giggle and cuss,
there will never be an end to something we cannot begin.
We've got to do today what has never been done,
I could fall through the ceiling and shatter that sin.
How could we know what the fall would be like, if the glass would turn and glitter and strike
the cold tile floor as I do the gravity dance, never climbing, never rising, not one more chance.
or would I unfurl these rags and make of them wings, to catch the breeze and rise up so high
to reach the place where the choirs sing, and peer down at the ground and that one little fly
Who never could jump but wanted so bad, to rise to the sky and shine as I had
to that fly I would say dont clip your own wings, dont cling to those things
just climb to the edge
of that shadowy ledge
and let yourself glide
dont try to hide
the beauty inside
the blush of a bride
for taking a side
for not having lied
for being pure and never ashamed
knowing that you cant be blamed
Then I would turn, seeing the edge of the things I couldn't learn.
And I would fall, my wings torn and shabby, once more the rags from which they were made.
hoping only, on that endless fall, that you would see in me something worth saving.
