Minerva - Ani DiFranco

You wandered in

To the forest

Following that shiny red ball

And by the time you looked up

You were lost

But that’s not all

You confused your journey

With my journey

You tried to nail me

Like minerva to your bow

But my job here

Is not to deliver you

But to hold a mirror

Till you see how

Oh say can you see me

Oh say can you see me

Oh say can you see me over here?

You want me

To tell you a story

But I am weary

Of entertaining

I’ll have more to say when I’m happy

'Course, then I’ll have less to sing

But there’s no me

Left for me

No incidental time of day

No wild adventures

Except in darkness

So dark I’d rather not say

Oh say can you see me

Oh say can you see me

Oh say can you see me over here?

Over here
