Once when I was younger
Once when I was younger
I was made older for my age
My playground was always only inches from the edges of the grave
Though I was not a victim of evil child abuse
The fact was I had no supervision . I was completely free and lose
I ran away at three looking for who or what can ever tell
If I found a hole in woods
I wanted to know how deep was the well
I was always one step from disaster
Riding a bike up a hill or down a mountain
Swimming across the river
or out in the ocean
My need to be searching
was how I was made to sustain
As the edges of aging expanded my thirst for adventured expired
Now I am surely as close to that edge that I embraced
so long ago
But now I know how deep that well is
How high the mountain
How wide the river
or the deep the ocean
Now that I know I guess it's time to go
