lyrics

It’s a good thing
You didn’t come today
The world
Is in a terrible place
What makes me think I could take care of you anyway?
It’s a good thing
You decided to wait
But there are apples on the tree in the yard
They’re sweet and we can eat them in the shade
The geese are getting ready to fly south
I saw them wobbly and then I saw them steady
They are ready as they’ll ever be
What will I tell you
About this world we’re in?
The brutality and the prisons
The hatred and the divisions between us
But we all watched the sun get swallowed by the moon
That magic moment could not have come a moment too soon
The leaves are turning from green to red and gold
I see them holding on and then I see them letting go
When they are ready
Birds and bees and flowers still conspire
Seeds are bursting out of their shells in those fires
And as hard as they will try
We will still have lullabies
I will protect you
The best I can
You are safe here, you belong here
As long as I’m here
I will always hold your hand
There are Monarchs on their path to Mexico
And fuzzy little caterpillars doing their best to cross the road
Did they get left behind?
Or are they trying to find
What’s inside them all along
They are ready
I am ready
Ready
As I’ll ever be
