LYRIC FOR SALE

By Kristin Parker

The world is passing by outside the window
A way of life unbeknownst to me
I’m the odd one out, stranger ‘cross the street
I see the things that they rush past
I feel the things that they silence all the time

When they toss and turn at night
I’m the one who reads their worries
They don’t know they have a place to land
I’ll keep holding as much as I can
My feet are trembling when I try to stand

I’m the master of the universe
Not because I’m grander
Just because I care
Something so common, so rare
I master their own universe

They go about their day, feels all hazed
Think they’ve no control, slaves to the unseen
Don’t know why they’re so afraid to use
To harness what is theirs, learn and grow
Gotta step in, cannot bear to leave them there

I’m the master of the universe
Not because I’m grander
Just because I care
Something so common, so rare
I master their own universe

I’m the master of the universe
Not because I’m grander
Just because I care
Something so common, so rare
I master their own universe
