Songs About A Young Lion

Let me be me

Let me be my original self
     instead of this sad and mistaken clone of what's left broken

Let me play in my playground
     the fantastic ordinary playground right by the summer sun
     instead of this crazy plain dollhouse right after the spring chills

Let my functional arms and my dysfunctional brain work in unison
     and have the ability to create magic return to me

Let me be able to dream several universes in one time
     instead of able to type 45 words per minute in two languages

Let me run around all day like a total maniac
     instead of drive around all day like a total lunatic

Let me be careless, ignorant, arrogant, stupid and be happy about it
     instead of this piece of... orange puke of an excuse to be nice

Let me have the option to make all the wrong choices, and
     let love and optimism be, all that is me



Let me be the young lion people sing about
     (instead of the hollow old tree that no one remembers.)
