Yours
I’m mining a tunnel
Where to I don’t know
Maybe next I’ll build a bridge
But until then I am mining a tunnel
As I mine I begin to wonder
What will become of this?
I mine, and I mine, and I mine as I ponder
Should I be worried that this mine of mine will go under?
I’m mining a tunnel
And I notice that it’s growing darker
I begin to worry that I’ll hit a minefield
Will this mine of mine soon cease to be mine?
I’m mining a tunnel
I begin to panic
The walls start to shake
I’m mining a tunnel
I’m pressed flatter into the dirt
I’m mining a tunnel
And I think I’m screaming
But no one else is around
So I’m not sure
I’m mining a tunnel
Until I’m no longer mining a tunnel
…
I’m mining a tunnel
When I wake I’m lost
Until I realize I am still in my mine
I’m mining a tunnel
But it is no longer mine to mine
I’m mining a tunnel
One of those landmines had hit hard
I’m mining a tunnel
But this time it’s different
I’m no longer mining to mine
I’m mining with a purpose
I’m mining a tunnel
With a need to be free
I’m mining a tunnel
When the dark is no longer so dark
I’m mining a tunnel
And scratch the surface
And I finally breathe a breath that is all mine
