Let Me Back In

    This song was inspired by the book "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." Tai reflected on how it feels to try to try to find the little girl that read the book long ago.

    This is a song Tai Shan wrote for the The Bushwick Book Club, a book club that writes songs about the books they read and performs them for an audience at the Can Can.
    The Bushwick club donates a large portion of the profits to The Seattle Public Library Foundation.
    Purchasable with gift card

     

lyrics

This is the story I read back in my childhood days
This is the world I fell into when I buried my nose in each page

The years unfold till I’m a child in pigtails and scoffed up knees
Racing around the backyard. I was Asland and you were Lucy

How do I get back there?
To the child who lived here before
I keep grouping at the pages
Trying to find the wardrobe door
Let me back in to Narnia


I once lived here
In a land of make believe
Now I keep searching each chapter
To find the world I used to see

How many years have a wandered
How many lives have I squandered for this life

Help me peel back the pages
Reveal the little girl that’s been waiting
Inside me

How do I get back there?
To the child who lived here before
I keep grouping at these pages
Trying to find the wardrobe door
Let me back in to Narnia
