So Close To Home

Well, since I woke up\nThings have become a little different\nLook close up\nFeel so blooming insignificant\nI never really sat\nAnd took a minute just to think\nHow miniscule I feel\nAmid this funny world I’m stuck within\nI’m merely miniature\nDiminutive\nAnd Lilliputian\nNo idea or hint or clue\nWhat’s written for me in my future\nLook what I’ve been reduced to\nStill unsure if I would stop it\nEven if I choose to\nI’ve got used to being microscopic\nWhether right or not\nIt might be what I’m choosing to do\nNature may be brutal, true\nBut it’s beautiful too\nIt’s up to you to decide\nJust what you do with your life\nMight not be human in size\nBut you are human inside\nYou view the dandelions hanging high\nBlanketed in languid light\nNo language can quite describe\nSuch an astounding sight\nAt every size imaginable\nYou’re still bound to find\nCountless grand designs of magnitude\nRight down from ground to sky\nIn a space so great\nWe’re So Close To Home\nBut we may as well be in another galaxy we’re so alone\nBut from tiny acorns, you can grow an oak\nAnd if we don’t go big then we won’t go home\nWe’re So Close To Home\nBut we may as well be in another galaxy we’re so alone\nBut from tiny acorns, you can grow an oak\nAnd if we don’t go big then we won’t go home\nNo entomologist has known\nIntimate knowledge like this\nI’ve been to forests\nThat could fit entirely into your fist\nSpent time with tiny tiny communities\nThat are far more organized\nCohesive and complete than human beings\nBeneath your boots unseen\nGroups are busy doing things\nTeeming teams of teeny troops\nYou’d really refuse to believe\nMoving through the leaves\nSubtle slow under your nose\nThe wonderful hustle and bustle\nRustling the undergrowth\nTo find it feels like\nShovel uncovered sunken bone\nOr realizing we’re no more than grubs\nTo hungry crows\nWater is short\nThere surely won’t be sudden abundant flows\nOnly dew drops in thunderous blows\nThat come to flood your comfort zone\nYou’ve never understood\nOr known of real hunger\n'Til you discover a mushroom and chew it\nNot sure if it’ll kill you\nOnce you’ve consumed all of your food\nWhat do you think you’re going to do?\nNature may be beautiful, true\nBut it’s brutal too\nIn a space so great\nWe’re So Close To Home\nBut we may as well be in another galaxy we’re so alone\nBut from tiny acorns, you can grow an oak\nAnd if we don’t go big then we won’t go home\nWe’re So Close To Home\nBut we may as well be in another galaxy we’re so alone\nBut from tiny acorns, you can grow an oak\nAnd if we don’t go big then we won’t go home\nPlump dew drops cling from the tall grass\nMight as well be tree drops seems so vast\nSun breathes through the leaves\nInks shadows in the dust\nThat’ll swell and bring the dusk in\nShelter is a must\nBecause traveling is tough\nWith the moon as your guide\nDappled, ashen\nI’ll entrust it to you to decide\nWhether you run and hide\nOr fight through the night\nMight not be human in size\nBut you’re human inside\nSummer’s holding on tight\nSurely won’t last long\nWhen it’s coming like pride\nIt’ll forecast fall\nIt’s just more tall grass\nIt’ll all past sure\nBut’ll be back and reborn\nI mean that\nA new dawn\nIn a space so great\nWe’re So Close To Home\nBut we may as well be in another galaxy we’re so alone\nBut from tiny acorns, you can grow an oak\nAnd if we don’t go big then we won’t go home\nWe’re So Close To Home\nBut we may as well be in another galaxy we’re so alone\nBut from tiny acorns, you can grow an oak\nAnd if we don’t go big then we won’t go home
