when i was young and foolish
i wanted to be a thing
people yearned to possess
and being owned, made happy
but now my hair is full of gray
i see the world for what it is
if i am owned–i am not free
and i am better than a cage
i am the universe that loves
the wind that sings, the sea that heals
and i will shit magic on you
from all the way across the world
the universe that loves
