Trampoline

Eight eighty four The sign on the door of this old house Crossing the threshold Moving in, figuring life out But where do I put all that I'm carrying here? Furniture and boxes And anxious thoughts and fears Come on, kids, show us how to live in the now Through the window a beautiful breeze Carries their laughter and beckons to me Come have a seat out here by our trampoline So here in this place I will unload for a minute Free to enjoy just a moment while I am in it Oh, and I pray for a sign that it's going to be alright After these lockdowns and all of these partisan fights Oh I can't solve it all now So if my mind will allow I'll trampoline all my worries away I think I've had enough drama today If you need me I'll be in the backyard on my trampoline Oh gravity Oh levity No phone, no wallet, no keys I know there's a lot Answers we still don't have And all is uncertain But that doesn't mean it's all bad So maybe the sun on your skin and the wind in your face Can help you remember the joy that you might've misplaced Just be careful of these Forty year old knees Don't forget there's a kid down inside Who longs to be barefoot and jump and fly high If you wanna break free Come and join me on my trampoline
