How can a body prove its worth?
What if I gave the wind a curl?
Hoping some industrious bird
Might weave it into something warm and good
‘Cause there's nothing hard at all about the center of a bone
It's sweet to suck the soft marrow
Keep on working at me ‘till I'm all hollow
And lighter than a dove-tailed swallow
Oh, to be made to rise above
And build nests out of straw and mud
Singing out the sweetest songs
To make the night not seem so long and dark
‘Cause there's nothing hard at all about the center of a bone
It's sweet to suck the soft marrow
Keep on working at me ‘till I'm all hollow
And lighter than a dove-tailed swallow
But I was made to stand upright
On earth that's cracked like elbow skin
And worry about frost at night
And feel the weight I'm carrying
