In a cave
Down a rabbit hole
I want to disappear
Forget society and the darkness of it
The shadows of the forest welcome me
Each night creatures sing a new melody
Mommy can I be a hermit?
Let the stars be my map
Keep your fancy homes and expensive cars
I want none
I wish to run freely through the trees, or jump from branch to branch
Swim like a fish
Run like a cottontail
Sing like a bird
And dance like the trees in the wind
I don’t want to be part of the world I was born into
Let me fade from your life like a shadow in the morning light
Permit me to join the land and the wild
Oh Mommy…
Can I be a hermit?
