I've been on the wire Hanging upside down The grass is my head With my feet in the cloud I've swam in the rain Walking I float My eyes have the vision Of a glass bottom boat I've tasted the sand Felt glass in my throat Nothing but silence My hand writes a note I've swept up the money Put leaves in my pocket Watched it fly away Like a powerful rocket I've experienced the popular Felt shy of the crowd Feeling the spin Been left on the ground I've felt the ecstatic Smiled ear to ear Laughed at the nonsense Took part in the cheer I've baked all the tears Ate humble fears Cut off the crust Kept it for years I've been cool in the fire Extinguished the rage Bitten my toe As they rattled the cage I've been open in shelter Aimed to be kind Shared with the other To find piece of mind I've stood on the river Looked down at the sky Held in my hand A blue butterfly
