~With the body, we survive
With our souls we're alive.
Men are no monsters
Who broke a heart healed another.
I remember I once slept on a balcony,
watched the smoke leave a factory.
Spotted a man crying and sipping his beer,
he seemed in pain and full of fear.
He didn't notice me 'cause he didn't think,
a little girl like me would be awake,
at this time of the day,
at this age in her life
analyzing the world and wondering if men,
would work this early and that hard to burn a little girl's heart.
They'd let the smoke into the early skies
for another young soul to notice and cry.
But little girls can't run away so fast
they always fall and get trapped.
But men are no monsters
Who broke a heart healed another.
He finished his beer and I drifted away.
But you wouldn't imagine how it felt,
I saw him running down the sidewalk with his little girl to a park where I was.
He sang her songs I didn't know,
bought her the kind of candy I craved so,
loving her unlike I've seen before.
And as I swung back and forth on my own
I split with my reality blinking at the display of joy.
What could only make sense now I realized is that:
Men and women,
Little boys and girls,
We're all on this journey
Being swung back and forth.
But here I am smiling through this ride because:
People are no monsters
Who laughed today, sobbed another
Who hurt you today, died another.
Forgive me, father.
.love.
