i felt my life with both my hands

i felt my life with both my hands

to see if it was there

i held my spirit to the glass

to prove it possibler

i turned my being round and round

and paused at every pound

to ask the owner's name

for doubt that i should know the sound

to ask the owner's name

for doubt that i should know the sound

i judged my features

jelled my hair

i pushed my dimples by

and waited if they twinkled back

conviction might of me

i turned my being round and round

and paused at every pound

to ask the owner's name

for doubt that i should know the sound

to ask the owner's name

for doubt that i should know the sound

i told myself take courage

friend

that was a former time

but we might learn to like the heaven

as well as our old home

i turned my being round and round and round

paused at every pound

to ask the owner's name

for doubt that i should know the sound

to ask the owner's name

for doubt that i should know the sound

i felt my life with both my hands

to see if it was there
