Seven A.M., the usual morning line-up Start on the chores, and sweep til the floors all clean Polish and wax, do laundry and mop and shine up Sweep again And by then Its, like, seven-fifteen And so I'll read a book Or maybe two or three I'll add a few new paintings To my gallery I'll play guitar and knit and cook and basically Just wonder, when will my life begin? Then, after lunch, its puzzles, and darts and baking... Papier-maché, a bit of ballet, and chess... Pottery and ventriloquy, candle-making... Then I'll stretch Maybe sketch Take a climb Sew a dress And I'll re-read the books If I have time to spare I'll paint the wall some more I'm sure theres room somewhere And then Ill brush, and brush And brush, and brush my hair Stuck in the same place Ive always been And I'll keep wondring And wondring And wondring And wondring When will my life begin? Tomorrow night... The lights will appear Just like they do on my birthday each year What is it like Out there where they glow? Now that I'm older Mother might just let me go...
