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 Halfway from coal, halfway 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, 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 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
