Ten Lives from Ten Lives by Jenifer Freebairn

You're asking for me
To land on my feet
I'll try to remember to come back as a cat

Or maybe if I
Came back as a dog
I'd still be loyal
When you treat me like that

The next time around
I can spring from the ground
Dig in deep to give you shelter
And you could carve your name in me
I'll try to remember to come back as a tree

It would take me ten lives
Ten lives to make you happy

The sun's going down
You're losing your light
If only I could be a firefly

Or maybe a tall
Ladder to climb
If I came back as that
You could reach to the sky

Behind every door
There's something more
And none of them are swinging open
But you'd get in if only you had me
If only I could be your skeleton key

It would take me ten lives
Ten lives to make you happy

A well of second chances
A big bouquet of answers
An ocean ebbing, flowing just to wash you clean

It would take me ten lives
Ten lives to make you happy
