about

An anthem, a love letter, a manifesto for the seekers, oddballs, readers, and dreamers. A message of hope for all who are waiting to find their time and place.

lyrics

I am a librarian
My mind is a cave
I don’t understand
How people behave

I’m greater than some of my
parts that seem broken
I make my own costumes
I own my own name

A witch in the wintertime
Philosopher king
I’m not staring at you
I’m considering things

A natural scientist
Singing my song
Where I am going is
Where i belong

This is my time
This is my place
Behind the drawn curtain
Or right in your face

I am a librarian
My tongue is a blade
With sharp doubled edges
To keep you away

A creature of habit
A half-wild animal
Hungry to touch you
But also afraid

An orbiting satellite
Counting the stars
Moving in circles
Out here in the dark

Prisoner of circumstance
Lying awake
Awaiting the moment
I make my escape

This is my time
This is my place
Behind the drawn curtain
Or right in your face

Did I make a crash landing
An alien planet
Will others find me in time
Sometimes I think
I’m the only one of my kind

I am a librarian
My heart is a fist!
My fist in the air
The air in my face
I'm facing my fear
My fear is a friend
My friends are beside me
I’m ready for this

I’ve set all the instruments
Sought out the signs
It’s what I’ve been studying
All of my life

This is my time
This is my place
Behind the drawn curtain
Or right in your face

This is my time
This is my place
Behind the drawn curtain
Or right in your face

This is my time
This is my place
Behind the drawn curtain
Or right in your face

This is my time
This is my place
Behind the drawn curtain
Or right in your
Right in your face
