You walk the sand and memorize

All the shells that hit your feet

As the ocean comes in to meet you

You watch and stand and memorize

How you feel and the time of day

This memory that you'll hold onto

Pick a name

Any name

Who you were as a child

Pick a name

Any name

The color of the sky

The flavor of air

How it feels to listen

And stare

Pick a name

Any name

For right now

You walk the leaves and leave footprints

On top of many others wandering

All the animals that have already passed by

You hold your sleeves and shiver

The autumn chill is just beginning

All of the birds are just starting to fly

Pick a name

Any name

Who you are in this moment

Pick a name

Any name

This present, hold it

The color of your shoes

How it feels to lose

A memory

Pick a name

Any name

For right now

You walk the clouds in your dreams

The colors are all unimaginable

And yet you see them all so clearly

You hold your hand out to catch a falling star

And wonder how you live down on earth

Life just always seems so dreary

Who you are at the time

Pick a name

Any name

Suppose you're feeling fine

Your imagination

Dreaming big

With speculation

Pick a name

Any name

For right now

You think of butterflies and trees

Think of budding roses and honeybees

Dream of gossamer houses under the sun

Come inside when you're done

Pick a name

Any name

The color of the dusk

Pick a name

Any name

The scent of the dawn

Pick a name

Any name

For who you are

Right now

Are you indigo?

Are you tangerine?

Are you mint or chocolate

Or something in between?

For yourself

For right now

Who you were as a child
