Magic Beans
I have found magic beans
I hold tight in my hand
Rolling them over, now, what could I plan?
Leave my reality? A new opportunity?
How should I use the power they hold?
Can they take me away, as I have been told
To magical places, ...to far-away lands?
Such a dilemma, how could one choose?
Is there a place to leave my worries behind?
I stood and I pondered, here, under the sky
Searching my heart, to find peace of mind
One star caught my eye, as it dangled so bright
... And I knew.... I must visit the heavens tonight!
Closing my eyes, I made a wish on the beans
In a gust of wind, I was launched to a tree
Suddenly appeared was a heavenly branch
Up through the branches were stair steps for me!
I climbed up the limbs, and it reached for the sky
I climbed and clung, so incredibly high
where below me horizons stretched out and they grew
til' the earth swung free in a tide of blue
Weary and stiff, but fiercely proud
I swung at last to a ledge of a cloud
seeing more clearly where worries are free
They won't pull me down, or give me the clouds
that shadow my world. Now, I'm born to be free,
to face every storm, to whether the good or the weary, or worn
I hold magic beans that have taken me far...
So far to a place on the edge of the stars
