Paper Boats

An original poem written and performed for KALOS, GCTS's premiere arts journal.

Two of us sitting on a paper boat

folded up origami we learn to float

sitting on the edge

we stare into the deep

just the two of us, starting to dream

And I don't know where I've come from

and I don't know where I'll go

I know I don't have the answers

but theres no need to know

I'll sail with you till morning

and we'll find our rest at sea

I know Papa's at home waiting

waiting on you to come with me

Lazily gazing at the stars

just the two of us but who knows where we are?

making fishing poles

out of shoestring

to pass the time we started to sing

And I swear I saw the moon

but it was just the pool of your eyes

calling me to come home

but Lord knows I've tried

Where on Earth can I hide

from the moon always at my side

Though I don't see it all the time

I know it hangs there in the sky

And it makes me shiver with what could be

but I think you mistook a better man for me

'cause I'm not who you think I am

I'm not who you think I am

I'm not who I think I am

but you think I am

You think I am

You think, I am

You think.

I am.
