In the Woods

"In the Woods"

I'm standing here

Looking up at the towering trees 

It gets dark beneath this canopy

But I can see the evidence of the sun

Rays shooting down around me

He runs and plays and climbs the limbs

I stand below, ready to break his fall

But wanting him to feel what it's like to climb

Climb high little one

Oh! Not too high...

We make our camp here, where it is dark

I hear the people outside of the trees,

Where the sun hits their skin full on

And they all play together

They shout to us, 

"we're here, we're here for you"

But they are out of the woods

And we never are

So we set up camp

Call it home
