She Just Wants to Be

It's not that she walked away, Her world got smaller. All the usual places, The same destinations, Only something's changed. It's not that she wasn't rewarded With pomegranate afternoons Of mingus, chet baker and chess. It's not stampeding fortune, Or prim affectations. She's off on her own But she knows Now is greater than the whole of the past Is greater, and now she knows She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be It's not that transparency Of her earlier incarnations Now looked back on, weren't rich And loaded with beautiful vulnerability And now she knows Now is greater And she knows that She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be Now is greater, now is greater. And she knows that She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be It's not like if angels Could truly look down Stir up the trappings And light on the ground. Remind us of what, when, why or who That how's up to us, me and you. And now is greater than the whole of the past Is greater, and now she knows that. Now she knows.
