Going no where
while reaching for everything.
Sailing through life
as if nothing and at the same time everything matters.
Ooohhh what a life.

I catch a ride on a swing
feeling the breeze in my hair
floating like a butterfly.
If I jump
will I land on my knees or
fall splat like a limp rag?

I read books like a maniac
then climb the highest boulder and proclaim
I'm the Queen of my Kingdom!
Twirl and swirl until I fall in a heap,
excited and dizzy
looking up at the moon.

Fly to the stars
on the back of a Griffin
the thrill and the rush of it all!
Next I earn three degrees
then hitch hike all through Spain.
What could be better than helping out where I stay?

Disjointed is this?
Yeah to be sure, but what do you expect when
going nowhere
while reaching for everything.
Sailing through life
as if nothing and at the same time everything matters.
Ooohhh what a sweet life.
