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 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 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.
   but 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.
