Beat A Drum |
| The sun reflected in The back of my eye |
| I knocked my head |
| Against the sky |
| The dragonflies are busy buzzing me Seahorses if we were in the sea |
| Halfway from coal, |
| Halfway to diamond |
| My fall knocked a Mean chip out of me |
| I’m gathering as far |
| As I can reach |
| We’re perched up On the precipice |
| And this is what I’ve seen |
| This is all I want |
| It’s all I need |
| This is all I am It’s everything |
| This is all I want |
| It’s all I need |
| A bluejay hectors from |
| The felled catalpa tree |
| Doctorate in science |
| And a theologian’s |
| Dream |
| The dragonflies are |
| Trying to lecture me Seahorses if we were in the sea |
| This is all I want |
| It’s all I need |
| This is all I am It’s everything |
| This is all I want |
| It’s all I need |
| Beat a drum for me, |
| Like a butterfly wing |
| Tropical storm across the ocean |
| But don’t explain, |
| I’m sure I’ll want to know |
| But don’t forget, |
| We’re just halfway from coal |
| This is all I want |
| It’s all I need |
| This is all I am It’s everything |
| This is all I want |
| It’s all I need |
