Fixed like Brand New

We got her the castle, complete with a horse-drawn carriage, a swing and a bride and groom. And she loved it.

And i'm proud of her.

Watching her assemble the pieces and play with the princess and the prince, playing the music box over and over makes me think of the THE Riddle.
*****

There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him
?Wait, what's the sense in life?
Come over me, Come over me?

He said, "Son why you got to sing that tune?
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon?
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see, you will see"

Then he said, "Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer: There's a reason for the word
You and I"

Picked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything? ?Cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me

He said, "Dad I'm big, but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me"

?And hey Dad, here's a riddle for you
Find the answer: There's a reason for the word
You and I?

I said, "Son for all I've told you
When you get right down to the
Reason for the word who am I?"

There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see
He said, ?You looking for a clue? I love you free?

The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me
Something comes over me

I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
'Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free, I love you freely

Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer: There's a reason for the word
You and I

Sometimes,questions like these and revelations as these make you feel, well, less frightened. Last post, I asked myself if it's really possible to get fixed when everything is just so broken. And with soul mate or not, yeah I guess we can be!

I know, we all know, it's because of lil One. She holds the light that led me out of the tunnel. She fixed me without even knowing it.

And I guess, she's my reason for the word You and I.
