This Is Mine

Lyrics

Written by Lucy Kaplansky, Richard Litvin 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
