This is fine, for me at least Nothing can harm me, I'm stable by the table seat And life goes on, stories be told Whatever happens we'll grow old I hope Here's a crazy thought, An answer none of us would have sought It's strange, you always saw so little of me I didn't feel as well, so worthy But hopefully, I'll be strong for you See, you'll arrive and depart, I wish, with me there too Because choices you have, that will always be plenty I'll have your whole life, as much as I can carry I don't care, it will be a little clingy But let me know, I'll fall where you want me Just know I'll gather winds and rains And sweets and pains, with you i'll remain On the mountain lay me for awhile I'll be heavy, but I'll be with you for miles On a boat out at sea, go diving without me When you return, I'll be the same, still happily Of course, life will be lighter without weight on your shoulders But I swear I'll keep up and even make you better Don't forget me, cuts and tears and all We'll brave the summer, winter, spring, fall You're a nomad when all's been said at least And adventure stokes the fire while keeping your peace I'll be whatever you need, my cup is yours to fill And even when you toss me aside, I'll cry, but still be at your will Because your shoulder's my sunrise The sunset, and the moon and sun I'll protect your back from dangers and promises undone At the end of the day, I'll lay waiting till you wake For another hour, year, or decade, I promise I will stay
