[Female contralto, heartfelt, unhurried. Soft piano, warm cello. Half-sung, half-spoken.] [Verse 1] a spot of sun holds the room together new choices walk in like weather [Chorus] I wore the wrong shoes for the life I thought I’d live turned out—perfect fit [Verse 2] peacefulness a fallen leaf lands twice softly hollowness deep as a canyon— and still, something grew [Chorus] I wore the wrong shoes for the life I thought I’d live turned out—perfect fit [Bridge] here now a feather teaches gravity I’m grounded by the joy of not needing wings the sky was never that far up [Interlude — cello & piano, spacious] [Verse 3] summer children dangled their feet from Saturn’s rings one slipped and landed in a poem I nap like the world’s enough— actually, it is [Chorus] I wore the wrong shoes for the life I thought I’d live turned out—perfect fit [Outro] severe storms later hummingbird tops off the tank just in case [Cello, piano, hum fade] —————- Lyrics: Mario Caoile
