Trampoline

Eight eighty four
The sign on the door of this old house
Crossing the threshold
Moving in, figuring life out
But where do I put all that I'm carrying here?
Furniture and boxes
And anxious thoughts and fears
Come on, kids, show us how to live in the now
Through the window a beautiful breeze
Carries their laughter and beckons to me
Come have a seat out here by our trampoline

So here in this place
I will unload for a minute
Free to enjoy just a moment while I am in it
Oh, and I pray for a sign that it's going to be alright
After these lockdowns and all of these partisan fights
Oh I can't solve it all now
So if my mind will allow
I'll trampoline all my worries away
I think I've had enough drama today
If you need me
I'll be in the backyard on my trampoline

Oh gravity
Oh levity
No phone, no wallet, no keys

I know there's a lot
Answers we still don't have
And all is uncertain
But that doesn't mean it's all bad
So maybe the sun on your skin and the wind in your face
Can help you remember the joy that you might've misplaced
Just be careful of these
Forty year old knees
Don't forget there's a kid down inside
Who longs to be barefoot and jump and fly high
If you wanna break free
Come and join me on my trampoline
