Grain of Sand

I came to you a grain of sand
A mere shadow of a mountain
An empty shell, save for a tiny heart
Nestled in a guilty conscience
Unsatisfied, I cut my own chest open
And O, how I was mistaken
'Cause O, my heart was wider than the oceans
The expanse of my heart was exponential
A boundless, new realized potential
But O, how to make it beat?
But you said, "Hush, Gabrielle,"
And you reached inside and squeezed
And my hesitant heart began to beat
I came to you a grain of sand
A mere shadow of a mountain
You took my hand and in my ear you whispered
"New York is not where you belong
But O, together we'll be strong
And steadfast as rock
And we'll find somewhere we can gather moss
Until our amassing mountain stands aloft."
