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

A 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.

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.
