Atlas’s Substitute
Breathe a sigh of relief
I see Atlas in the distance
You can straighten out your spine
And feel your lungs expand
Wipe the sweat from your brow
Wash your face
Change your clothes
You can live
You can breathe
You can feel
You can sleep
You could eat if you wanted
You could leave the world
Or settle down and rest
Go start a family
Atlas is back
It’s on his back
So breathe a sigh of relief
Atlas will take up the position
The world is not made for humanoids
To hold and support
You have your world and he has ours
So love your tiny slice of reality
Keep it close in your hand
In the palm of your hand
Little lady, I love you
Now go live your life
Atlas has his that you borrowed
Now you have his that he stole
