Where the Mind Is

That thing in my gut,

The one that gives me butterflies

When I'm in love.

That thing in my gut,

The one that lights up like a fire

When I face my fear.

That thing in my gut,

The one that makes me want to puke

When there's injustice and inhumanity.

That thing in my gut,

The one that's shaped like a heavy, dark cloud

When there's doubt.

That thing in my gut,

The one that feels light

When I know things are right.

That's where my mind is.
