The sun reflected in the back of my eye
I knocked my head against the skyThe dragonflies are busy buzzing me
Seahorses if we were in the seaHalfway 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 seenThis 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 Blue Jay hectors from the felled catalpa tree
Doctorate in science and a theologian's
DreamThe dragonflies are trying to lecture me
Seahorses if we were in the seaThis 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 oceanBut don't explain, I'm sure I'll want to know.
But don't forget, we're just halfway from coalThis 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.
