Ani DiFranco - Present/Infant (03.09.2008)

Ani DiFranco performs her unreleased song Present/Infant at the Langerado Festival in the Everglades, Florida, March 2008. Poor sound but good video quality.

This song is on Ani's Babeville concert DVD and new album Red Letter Year, available from http://www.righteousbabe.com

lately i've been glaring into mirrors
picking myself apart
you'd think at my age i'd have thought
of something better to do
than make insecurity into a full-time job
make insecurity into an art
and i fear my life will be over
and i will have never lived it unfettered
always glaring into mirrors
mad i don't look better

but now here is this tiny baby
and they say she looks just like me
and she is smiling at me
with that present infant glee
and yes i will defend
to the ends of the earth
her perfect right to be

so i'm beginning to see some problems
with the ongoing work of my mind
and i've got myself a new mantra
it says: "don't forget to have a good time"
don't give the sellers of stuff power enough
to rob you of your grace
love is all over the place

there's nothing wrong with your face
love is all over the place
there's nothing wrong with your face

lately i've been glaring into mirrors
picking myself apart
