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.
A seahorse as if we were in the sea.
Half way from coal
Half way from diamond.
My fall knocked a mean chip out of me.
Gathering as far as I can reach.
Perched up on a precipice
And this is what I've seen.
This is all I want,
It's all I need.
This is all I am.
This is all I want,
It's all I need.
A bluejay hectors from the felled Catalpa tree.
Doctorate in science and a theologians dream
The dragonflies are trying to lecture me.
The seahorses as if we were in the sea.
But 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
Don't forget we're just half way 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.
