Beat a Drum Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Half way from coal
Half way 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
A bluejay hectors from the felled Catalpa tree
Doctorate in science and a theologian's dream
The dragonflies are trying to lecture me
A seahorse as if we were in the sea
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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 half way from coal
[Chorus]
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
