It's a slippery slope that we all climb
Move over I'm taking my time
Like a stubborn tree I still grow
The hardest thing to leave behind
The limbs the rings of all these times
I mark them as I grow older
Older, dear
The magic beneath the surface lies
It's everywhere all the time
in everything that's alive
Until you seek until you find
the light in you and leave behind
the parts of you that don't grow here, dear
Grow, dear
Big wings don't clip mine
I go above the below
