I shant go into much detail about the who the why or the when
Nor do I care to discuss the them the there or the then
What I can tell you is there is no nothing and that everything is something
To someone maybe not you, that something is somewhat wanting
Perhaps you may have heard about the elephant that lives up the street
Not a very popular girl because for an elephant she's got small feet
Well as it was or should have been to be sure I really can't say
That elephant was just about the finest thing that lived back in her day
Sure she's not much to look at now but now tell me have you considered the feet
There was a time and it was hers where she danced with every song she'd meet
She moved like smoke through their fingers and so many would lose their grip
Say the wrong thing or just run out of time and from out of their lives she'd slip
And then time left her scattered and broken and she grew fat off misery
Now she just hums and wanders around wondering how could it be
See we all have a time, a place, and a thought that is not what could have been
We all have a moment, a turn, or a chance to turn what is now to then
To step back from the world around us and ask ourselves a question
Do we want to be to someone an answer or just another suggestion
