Rosie Oh

As I walked across the bridge

With a backpack cross my shoulder blades

The Everglades below the wooden cracks

You had offered up a ride

So I might not get accosted by

The watery slide

But I said no, I’d rather not

Said no, I’d rather not

Said no, I’d rather not step in

As I left my home I cried

And a substituted figure tried

To reconcile the things I'd left behind

You had opened up the door

And made a place where I could sit inside

And fortify

But I said no, I’d rather not

Said no, I’d rather not

Said no, I’d rather not step in

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

Now no one's been invested in

How no one knows what's best for him

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

When no one's left to light the load

Then so one goes to lift alone

I'd like to embrace it

Like to embrace it

Like to embrace it all

I'd like to embrace it

Like to embrace it

Like to embrace it all

Have I made this or is it

That I've been made?
