Trampoline

from kohelet by Phil Laeger

lyrics

884, the sign on the door of this old house
Crossing the threshold
Moving in, figuring life out
But where do I put all that I'm carrying here?
Furniture and boxes and anxious thoughts and fears
Come on, kids, show us how to live in the now
Through the window a beautiful breeze
Carries their laughter and beckons to me
"Come have a seat out here by our trampoline"

So, here in this place, I will unload for a minute
Free to enjoy just a moment while I am in it
Oh, and I pray for a sign that it's gonna be alright
After these lockdowns and all of these partisan fights
Oh, I can't solve it all now
So, if my mind will allow, I'll
Trampoline all my worries away
I think I've had enough drama today
If you need me, I'll be in the backyard on my trampoline

Oh, gravity
Oh, levity
No phone, no wallet, no keys

I know there's a lot, answers we still don't have
And all is uncertain, but that doesn't mean it's all bad
So maybe the sun on your skin and the wind in your face
Can help you remember the joy that you might've misplaced
Just be careful of these 40-year-old knees
Don't forget there's a kid down inside
Longs to be barefoot and jump and fly hight
If you wanna break free
Come and join me on my trampoline
