Impersonality

When I was three feet tall
I loved them all
And lived life for myself
Falling down for laughs
Your photograph
Some puppets made of felt
Watching life in Oz Thanksgiving eve on grandma's old TV
Dancing roundabout I'd twist and shout for everyone to see
Impersonality
It's leaning hard on me
Momma's in a shop
Watching little sister by myself
Robbed a wishing pond
In a fleeting bond
Vowed to share the wealth
Scooping up the coins
A warning shot from some authority
Doesn't matter now but I'll shout out loud for everyone to see
Never got to know you
Did you ever wonder why
Now it's nice to know you
And I'm glad you're doing fine
Think of all the time lost
Was it really lost at all
Now I'm so proud of ya
I'd love to tell you all I see
Listen hard to your realities
Impersonality
It's leaning hard on me
