Trina’s Song/I Have Found

[Verse 1]
I'm tired of all the happy men who rule the world
They grow—of that I'm sure
They grow—but don't mature
I'd like the chance to hide in their world

[Verse 2]
I'm listening as these men who aren't quite men yet
But aren't boys
Make noise
And throw their knives
Their toys are people's lives

I'll laugh, I'll smile, I'll welcome cheer
The time is right, the men are near
Now happiness and love appear

[Verse 3]
I believe and I have found
Hyperbole is not what makes the world go 'round
Just living, just navigating
Firm and level ground
Has power to astound
I have found
I have found

[Verse 4]
It's been said
And I have heard
That ‘quiet’ doesn’t have to be a dirty word
Just talking is often more expressive than a shriek
It’s nice to merely speak
I have found
Look around

[Bridge]
Contentment, it seems
Simply happens
It appears
Accompanied by no bravos
And no tears
No tears

[Verse 5]
I have found
Since I have wed
That drama doesn’t need to be my daily bread
That goodness and warmth are as dramatic in their way
As any Broadway play, Broadway bound

Yes, goodness and warmth are as dramatic in their way
As any Broadway play
I have found

[Coda]
I have lived in the clouds for so long
I like it more on the ground
Was I lost?
Pretty near it
Now my spirit
I have found
