some of us climb ladders
some stand on our heads
some bend over backwards
some take giant steps
some twist and dance and lift our arms
some spin around in circles
some cover our eyes and our children’s eyes
some of us fall out of the sky
some of us bang drums and play cellos
some of us carry the weight of the law
some of us fade away
some of us float on the wings of love
some of us fade away
some of us carry the weight of the law
some of us fall out of the sky
some of us spin around in circles
—
some of us carry the weight of the law
because the weight of the law carries us
some of us spin around in circles
to see the beauty that surrounds us
—
because the weight of the law carries us
we never walk alone
to see the beauty that surrounds us
all we have to do is spin in circles
