I wear long coats and leather boots I wear long billowing skirts My hair dark and curly I sing the blues I drink gin and smoke **** I put the joint out with my finger tips I hike and make music with strangers I read poetry and politics I am friendly and confident I go to sunshine and music I dance bare foot I walk with beasts I tread lightly over the dead I see birds gather and hear my name called I look down I see dirt I see myself I see growing and potential I am not done growing yet I have not reached the canopy I have not caressed the sun I wait, biding my time I collect pieces of the dead I remember and take heed

I wear long coats and leather boots I wear long billowing skirts My hair dark and curly I sing the blues I drink gin and smoke **** I put the joint out with my finger tips I hike and make music with strangers I read poetry and politics I am friendly and confident I go to sunshine and music I dance bare foot I walk with beasts I tread lightly over the dead I see birds gather and hear my name called I look down I see dirt I see myself I see growing and potential I am not done growing yet I have not reached the canopy I have not caressed the sun I wait, biding my time I collect pieces of the dead I remember and take heed
