I finally like myself, at last I like myself.
Harry Chapin

If we say that no one's out there And we say we're goin' nowhere And we avoid the question Is this all that it means?

I never really drove a cab, but I do have a hack license in case of emergencies - like no money.

You see, she was gonna be an actress and I was gonna learn to fly. She took off to find the footlights, and I took off for the sky. And here, she's acting happy, inside her handsome home. And me, I'm flying in my taxi, taking tips, and getting stoned. I go flying so high, when I'm stoned.

Why did the little girls grow crippled While the little boys grow strong The boys allowed to come of age The girls just came along The girls were told sing harmonies The boys could all sing songs That's why little girls grew crippled While little boys grew strong.
Harry Chapin

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man in the moon. When you coming home, dad? I don't know when, But we'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then.
Harry Chapin
Image
I want the fact that I existed to mean something.
Harry Chapin
Image
No straight lines make up my life And all my roads have bends There's no clear-cut beginnings And so far no dead-ends.
Harry Chapin
Image
And while blood's the only language that your deaf old ears can hear And still you will not answer with that message coming clear Does it mean there's no more ripples in your tired old glory stream And the buzzards own the carcass of your dream?
Harry Chapin
Image
All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown Moon rolls thru the nighttime Till the daybreak comes around.
Harry Chapin
Image
I found you a thousand times I guess you done the same But then we lose each other It's like a children's game As I find you here again A thought runs through my mind Our love is like a circle Let's go 'round one more time.
Harry Chapin
Image
You see, I have no real complaints of how you've left your past behind I guess what gets me worried is you've erased him from your mind.
Harry Chapin
Image
Why were the little girls all frightened To be just what they are The boys were told to ask themselves How high how far The girls were told to reach the shelves While the boys were reaching stars That's why little girls were frightened To be just what they are.
Harry Chapin

Reality is only just a word.
Harry Chapin
Image
You know I need a dream Like I need my breath We need to take the life Before we get the death You know I need your love Like I need the light Yes I need the chance Can it be tonight?
Harry Chapin
