lyrics

I’m named for platform shoes
my mother saw on my Aunt Nancy’s feet
oh, Bicentennial, we hope you’re ready for this baby’s dreams
(why would I lie to you?
ask anyone, they’ll say the story’s true)

I gave my heart away
at age thirteen, in my World History class
I know him to this day
he’s still a big part of my circus act
(now, would I lie to you?
ask anyone, they'll say the story’s true)

and it keeps going
I gave up on knowing
why I have to live a life that’s so fantastically outside
of what one thinks of as reality

I learned to play guitar
ten years before I learned to change the strings
I wished upon a star
and here I am surrounded by such things
I made by heart and hand
there’s a magic to “I think I can”

and it keeps going
I gave up on knowing
why I have to live a life that’s so fantastically outside
of what one thinks of as reality

I had a song to sing
I said, “make music with me," he said “no”
I put down everything
and wrote an album about letting go
now my heart is free,
and don't you know that man is loving me
