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 upon 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

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
