Take Two

08/15/2008

Just look at you, feel you
So this is the world.
I’m so young, I’m a child
I’m a little girl.

Or I’m just as good as that,
As I start anew.
This is how it feels, dear,
When I look at you.

Hands and fingers interlaced
I’d follow you to any place
Hands and fingers intertwined
I’ll stand beside you any time

Crooked smiles, crooked teeth
Laughter pouring out
Falling hard, and falling fast
There’s newness all about.

Helping me across the rocks
Hold me so that I don’t slip
You know how easily I’ll fall
Balanced on your fingertip.

Knees touching under tables
I’ll follow you, I’m fully able.
Knees to kneel on, kneel to pray
I’ll stand beside you any day.

Time is racing, challenging
In this race, it’s the hare
I’ll take my time this time with you
Don’t be afraid to catch some air

Just look at me, listen to me
So this is how it feels.
I’m so young, I’m a child
But I know what is real.
