dancing bear

i am not a dancing bear
i’m in a different kind of circus

i am not what you think i am
i just am

i face the tears i share the smiles
a little while

i tell the stories to let go
no need to know

i am not what you think i am
i just am

i look up sometimes i look down
i look around

i am not afraid of the dark
i just always look for the stars

i see like you what i can see
of me

you think i always seem to know
but i don’t know

whenever i feel something flow
i just go

i am where you think i am near
i am just here
