an empty bag is set before me
they say it's mine to bear for now
the more's inside, the lighter will it be
girls:
and all your smiles as friends perceive them
will be there till out of sight
and all your words as they receive them
will be there till out of mind
but the feelings only you can leave them
will be there long past your life
they will be there till the end of time
boys:
and I cannot let it tear
and I will not let it stain
and I plan to fill it only with the finest things
though it's slow to make it full
though my back is sure to break
I can't help but see the stakes
all:
so love it's all right
rest is in sight
love, set you down
you're home again now
