Making Our Escape

It’s dark in here, it’s dark in here Most days I don’t even hear, don’t even hear A thing, not a thing, not a thing... So many years, it’s been so many years Since he came to check on me, break open a box oftears... Not sorrow, no not sorrow, just love— tears of love Yeah, we used to fly above the bed Him on his back me overhead He put the words right in my mouth So I’d say in a mighty shout “We’re off to save the whole wide world— Every boy and every girl!” One time he even made me a cape We were superheroes making our escape. Is it dark out there? I wonder if it’s Dark out there too He doesn’t have his favorite bear... a guy needs his favorite bear To fly... to Dream... To have a place to put his words I’m not alone, I suppose I’m Not alone here in this box Next to me his pocketknife, a rock he found, and a compass that doesn’t point north any more... We’re all just waiting, here together, like a time capsule he forgot to open up... Yeah, we used to fly above the bed Him on his back me overhead He put the words right in my mouth So I’d say in a mighty shout “We’re off to save the whole wide world— Every boy and every girl!” One time he even made me a cape We were superheroes making our escape.
