As I walked across the bridge
With a backpack cross my shoulder blades
The Everglades below the wooden cracks

You had offered up a ride

So I might not get accosted by
The watery slide

But I said no, I´d rather not
Said no, I´d rather not
Said no, I´d rather not step in

As I left my home I cried
And a substituted figure tried
To reconcile the things I´d left behind

You had opened up the door
And made a place where I could sit inside
And fortify

But I said no, I´d rather not
Said no, I´d rather not
Said no, I´d rather not step in

I´m on my own
I´m on my own
I´m on my own
I´m on my own
Now no one´s been invested in
How no one knows what´s best for him

I´m on my own
I´m on my own
I´m on my own
I´m on my own

When no one´s left to light the load
Then so one goes to lift alone

I´d like to embrace it
Like to embrace it

Like to embrace it all

Have I made this or is it
That I´ve been made?
