I’ve been here many times before
Though I’m still a stranger on your shore
You cannot win me with a glance
Or tempt me with some rhetoric dance
I’m running barefoot, because I’m naughty
But I’m always humble and never haughty
I value trust, I value you
Your door flung open and I walked straight through.
I’ve been here many times before
Yet I’m still the stranger on your shore
I can’t compete and never will do
I stand and watch, I did then, and still do
The vultures watch me from the sky
Imaginations flying high
And somehow I’m not free to be
Until you hold the child in me
I’ve been here many times before
Yet I’m a stranger on your shore
And I am no lady of the night
Yet I still feel used like a flightless kite
I know so well that you’re no fool
And I also know that you’re not cruel
Because although we live in separate days
The wisdom comes in many ways
I’ve been here many times before
and I’m still a stranger on your shore
But the parts of ‘we’ which filter through
Keep the jigsaw rich and the journey new .
