THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
i mean
when i bring it up from where it sleeps
into my consciousness it creeps
i can fall so far, so deep
when i look at other people
living
promises i really meant to keep
a voice inside lets out a peep
and i can fall so far, so deep
i don't understand why i just don't know how
to give what others give
all i know is i can share the here and now
and that is how i live
it seems people share more than that
i mean
they have histories and mysteries
and plans together, intimacies
i sit by myself and watch them play
and i realize what is missing
living
i am what is missing, missing me
no one knows who i am, missing me
i don't know myself, but i'm here today
and i say
present
when the teacher calls the roll
and i say
here
when somebody calls my name
and i just
laugh
when they ask me who i am
and they laugh
too
but they never understand
when i realize what is missing
i mean
the first bonding forms identity
realize that it never happened to me
looking for a song to sing
when i look around at the world
living
taking sharing being for granted
i am haunted and enchanted
for i can be anything
i don't understand why i was left out
of the human condition
all i know is i can share the here and now
and that is my mission
and i say
present
when the teacher calls the roll
and i say
here
when somebody calls my name
and i just
laugh (and shrug)
when they ask me who i am
and they laugh
too
but they never understand
i can fall so far, so deep
i can fall so far, so deep
i can fall so far, so deep
i can fall so far, so deep
for there is no end to me
no fixed identity
waiting for eyes to see
who i was meant to be
so far, so deep, just me
so far, so deep, just me
so far, so deep, just me
so far, so deep, just me
So Far, So Deep
