Why did you give me a heart?
Why did you draw eyes on me?
Bigger than the sky, drinking in the wind that carries the clouds
My eyeballs were once again seeing a dream
Still barefoot
You slowly change, ever so slightly
As if staring at bread that’s gradually rising
You slowly run
Still unafraid of the long maze ahead
Why did you give me a name?
Why did you give me hands?
Bigger than the sea, drinking in the waves that carry the sand
My tiny hands still gazed far into the distance
A single yawn
We slowly fall asleep
A giant tree growing in the middle of our heads
We walk slowly with the roots
So as not to fear the long maze ahead
Will we eventually meet someone who we can’t catch up to?
Will we eventually freeze before an insurmountable wall?
Will even you give up on that someday?
Slowly changing
Slowly changing
Slowly changing
We slowly forget, ever so slightly
As if staring at a tower that’s crumbling bit by bit
We slowly fall asleep
Slowly fall asleep
You slowly change, ever so slightly
Like the shade growing beneath that tree
You slowly run
Still unafraid of the long maze ahead
Surely losing your way all the while
