World War III

She fell and hit her head

Where roads don't go

So a helicopter came for her

Took her up and through

The clear summer sky

Above all the colors

Down below



And she thought:

Well I guess,

This is where I ought to be right now



Out in the woods

The game of hide-and-seek

Was ended by the rain

But no one told me

Covered in moss and leaves

I felt real smart

Until I found myself

Alone in the dark



And when home came that thought:

This is where I ought to be right now

I want to walk into a place

And feel it's where

I ought to be always



The sole survivors

Of world war three

We were playing

In the forest



I was hiding

From you who had gone home

Without telling me and

I swear that sometimes it's like

I'm still out there
