Scarecrow Philosophy

I would ...   not be
( I would not exist )
Just a nothing
( A nobody )
My head all full of stuffing
( Full of nonsense )
My heart all full of pain
( Wracked in agony)
Will the thoughts I'd be thinking
( Contemplating the meaning )
I could be another Lincoln
( Makes me legendary)
If I only had a brain
( If I had the tools I need)

Ah, but you see
I really have none of these
Even though it seems
As if I do,  I don't

But I won't give up easily
Because I still dream
And that means everything
Even if dreams
Never do really come true

So I will do what I do
I will write and I will sing
Spread my tattered
Gorgeous wings
Maybe do a dance or two
Fall on my face
As I am apt to do

And I will believe
In things I cannot see
And I will expect
As if they are mine already
And I will receive
Tho, I don't deserve anything

Because I know
The man, the maker
The King
And He loves me
So even if I don't
Ever really feel  
Worth much of anything

It doesn't take a brain
To just be who
I was made to be
That's all I need to know
That's good enough for me
