F u l l  o f  w a v e s  a n d  f i e l d s ,
This universe we glide on in misshapen vessels.
From another galaxy
Would you please take me

You will make this right
You have the will of a volcano.

W h e n  y o u  c a m e  u p  f r o m  t h e  g r o u n d
F r o m  a  m i l l i o n  l i t t l e  p i e c e s
You were sewn together
with a tapestry of molecules
A billion baby galaxies
and wide open spaces

Humming a violet sky
There are no words
But there is understanding

I got my pockets full of crackers
That ought to be enough to get me there
I’m takin a rocketship to the sun tonight

Can you see me passing over?
I’m in a silver ship
Made of popsicle sticks

S o m e t i m e s   I  d r e a m   a b o u t  s u m m e r   e i g h t   y e a r s  a g o .
C a n  I  g o  b a c k  a g a i n ?

Sometimes I wonder if I could go back to being eight years old.
Sometimes the stars seem to be conscious of my memories.
Can I go back again?

Maybe for the moment
Suck in the pollen and breathe with the raccoons.

I give thanks to my youthful days
Of grass-stained knees and trick-or-treat face
I pray I’ll find as innocent a place
W h e n  I  a m  8 8

And I give thanks to my present day
It just got here so please don’t go away
I finally see it’s what I choose to make.
