The Universe That Loves

When I was young and foolish
I wanted to be a thing
That people yearned to possess
And being owned, made happy

But now my hair is full of gray
And I see the world for what it is
If I am owned I am not free
And I am better than a cage

I am the universe that loves
The wind that sings, the sea that heals
And I will shit magic on you
From all the way across the world
