White Paper

January – the world was wrapped in white paper
Inviting us to sign our names
We flew across the sky
And mixed on both sides of the ocean

February – I carried a secret inside a jar
In a hurricanes eye
The world spinning by, I sang a lullaby

Spring arrived and I took my jar
Traveled far to sing love songs in a bar
Soon they all knew that my secret was you

Summer came – hotter than ever
As we discussed global heating and fighting in the Middle East
I carried the future in a jar
And decided to keep it that way, I’d protect the future forever

Autumns here – soon it’s time to harvest
You stretch toward the September sun
Stronger every day
How can I protect you?

January – the world is wrapped in white paper
Inviting us to sign our names
We carry the future in our arms
We carry the future in our arms
We carry the future in our arms
Carefully, carefully
