She Just Wants To Be

It's not that she walked away,
 Her world got smaller.
 All the usual places,
 The same destinations,
 Only something's changed.
 It's not that she wasn't rewarded
 With pomegranate afternoons
 Of mingus, chet baker and chess.
 It's not stampeding fortune,
 Or prim affectations.
 She's off on her own
 But she knows
 Now is greater than the whole of the past
 Is greater, and now she knows
 ♪
 She just wants to be somewhere
 She just wants to be
 It's not that transparency
 Of her earlier incarnations
 Now looked back on, weren't rich
 And loaded with beautiful vulnerability
 And now she knows
 ♪
 Now is greater
 And she knows that
 She just wants to be somewhere
 She just wants to be
 Now is greater, now is greater.
 And she knows that
 She just wants to be somewhere
 She just wants to be
 She just wants to be somewhere
 She just wants to be
 It's not like if angels
 Could truly look down
 Stir up the trappings
 And light on the ground.
 Remind us of what, when, why or who
 That how's up to us, me and you.
 And now is greater than the whole of the past
 Is greater, and now she knows that.

 Now she knows.
