~ With the body, we survive
With our souls we're alive

Men are no monsters
Who broke a heart healed another

I remember I once slept on a balcony, 
watched the smoke leave a factory
Spotted a man crying and sipping his beer, 
he seemed in pain and full of fear

He didn't notice me 'cause he didn't think, 
a little girl like me would be awake,
at this time of the day,
at this age in her life 
analyzing the world and wondering if men,
would work this early and that hard to burn a little girl's heart

They'd let the smoke into the early skies
for another young soul to notice and cry
But little girls can't run away so fast
they always fall and get trapped

But men are no monsters
Who broke a heart healed another

He finished his beer and I drifted away
But you wouldn't imagine how it felt,
I saw him running down the sidewalk with his little girl to a park where I was

He sang her songs I didn't know,
bought her the kind of candy I craved so,
loving her unlike I've seen before

And as I swung  back and forth on my own
I split with my reality blinking at the display of joy
What could only make sense now I realized is that


Men and women, 

Little boys and girls, 

We're all on this journey 

Being swung back and forth 

Given the bitter and the sweet 

But here I am smiling through this ride because 


People are no monsters
Who laughed today, sobbed another
Who hurt you today, died another

Forgive me, father.

.love.
