opening all the heavy doors

look at the light show all around

full of the freshest air

sprouting from the cold hard ground

it's surrounding me on all my fours

and i'm running in place

keeping my own pace 

opening all the heavy doors

feeling fine

like a ripe grape hanging from a famous vine

where we sip and dine

on our dreams

yes, love, it's everything that it seems! 

a touch of my heart beating

realizing all my moments are fleeting

i'm facing ahead where my current steps lead

ignoring any obstacles trying to impede

my smile

yes it's been quite awhile

since i felt abused and poorly used

by some who thought me vulnerable and small

i've answered questions tossed my way across the hall

where monsters roam and spitballs fly

but i no longer wonder why

and i'm running in place

keeping my own pace 

opening all the heavy doors

feeling fine

like a ripe grape hanging from a famous vine 

where we sip and dine

on our dreams 

yes, love, its everything that it seems!
