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 to diamond.

My fall knocked a mean chip out of me.

Gathering as far as i can reach.

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.

This is all i want,

It's all i need.



A bluejay hectors from the felled catalpa tree.

Doctorate in science and the theologians dream.

The dragonflies are trying to lecture me.

A seahorse 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

But don't forget we're just halfway from home.



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.
