Ani Difranco Minerva lyrics

You wandered in to the forest
Following that shiny red ball
And by the time you looked up
You were lost but that's not all

You confused your journey with my journey
You tried to nail me like Minerva to your bow
But my job here is not to deliver you
But to hold a mirror 'till you see how

Oh say can you see me?
Oh I say can you see me?
Oh I say can you see me over here, over here?

You want me to tell you a story
But I am weary of entertaining

I'll have more to say when I'm happy
'Course, then I'll have less to sing

But there's no me left for me
No incidental time of day
No wild adventures except in darkness
So dark I'd rather not say

Oh say can you see me?
Oh I say can you see me?
Oh I say can you see me over here
Over here, right over here?
