An Old Song

I've got a song
it sits here in my head
no one can hear it
so I sing it to myself instead

I've got a heart
it swells like yeast in your bread
rises so high inside
it's meant to keep you fed

Never a change, never a chance, never a choice
it's so strange in its dance it's my voice

I've got some words
they come out of this pen
anyone can read them
if I leave my book open

I've got a head
it thinks it's insane
I can't let it show
now I've proved myself wrong again

I've got these arms
hands and fingers write down words
they reach from inside
unfurl the wings of your birds

Never a change, never a chance, never a choice
in exchange I advance and rejoice
