• A hundred times I've looked around,
    And a hundred times I've seen.
    A hundred times I've been bound,
    and every time, broke free.

    A thousand times I took a leap,
    And a thousand times I've missed the beam.
    A thousand times I fell asleep,
    and woke up in half a dream.

    A million times I've read stories,
    A million times it was not mine.
    A million times I've sounded my cries,
    and never once been fine.

    So many times I've sang my song,
    So many times I'll sing again.
    So many times I've done it all,
    and tomorrow I must do it all again.
