Written by Lucy Kaplansky, Richard LitvinI 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
