Two middle-aged bears slept soundly in the San Diego Zoo. Their great, golden fur glistened as their stomachs moved in and out, heaving as they snored. Waiting for Spring to come, one had a bad dream and awoke suddenly.
Seeing his sister in dreamland, he could rest assured that everything was as it should be. He began to count honeycombs and soon his eyes became heavy; he joined his sister in her beautiful daydream...

"The infant child is not aware..."
--A.E. Houseman
Mom, it's cold outside today
Can I stay inside and play?
Do I have to wear a sweater?
But my Bermuda shorts are better
Uh, you know, there's no school today...
(That's right,)
And I don't feel good anyway...
(Oh,) Can I stay at home, mom
Promise I'll keep calm
And I'll clean my room, okay?
(Chorus)
This path is mine to take
I know it will be my mistake
If it's hell I want
Then it's hell I'll seek
But I alone can scale this peak
------------------------------
Chorus:
Cause I can't take it
No I don't want to face it
Oh, you should know
I don't feel like,
Yeah, I don't want to feel like
Letting go... (x 3)

Chorus continued...
No we're not shedding any tears
I just want to stay right here
Cause it hurts so much inside
To smile, to touch, it's time
To go it all alone, to know
That I'm already grown
With no one here by my side.
------------------------------
No, I don't wanna look for a job
Does that make me a slob?
No, I don't want to leave right now
Please let me play for one more hour
With you?
With you?
(Chorus)
Thank you for all I am
Daddy, you're the only man
Who has given me
All the strength I need
To pull up from this quicksand
To face this foreign land.
Oh I'm already gone
Don't hold my gaze too long
Cause your heartache
Is too much to take
So instead, I'll write you this song...
(Chorus)
Mom, it's cold outside today
Can I stay inside and play?
