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.
