This Is Mine Lyrics - Lucy Kaplansky

Written by Lucy Kaplansky, Richard Litvin 

I can bend back 

And reach the days 

When everything was new 

When witches were birds that lived in trees 

When dreams were movies God made for me 

I talked to dogs 

I knew why trees and kids cried 

Why snow was white why people died 

In show and tell 

I talked about the shapes of clouds 

And all the schoolyard angels who protected me 

I am here and this is mine 

I'm everywhere flying in line 

Always looking for a place to rest 

I hid in trees and built my nest 

I made my nest of buried things 

And the roots ran like secrets 

Through six year rings 

I found that secret places were better places 

Nicer places that villains could not find 

I do not lie 

These places are mine 

Now I lean and bend 

To where I begin and end 

I am here and this is mine 

I'm everywhere flying in line 

I am here and this is mine 

I'm everywhere flying in line
