Bottom of the Ocean

How is living at the bottom
Of an ocean trench
Any different from living
In a mountain?
The creatures swimming
Down below are
Like the ones
In all the snow
The dark, the light,
The liquid and the solid
It's the relativity of all
The sights that we all see
That make me wonder if those aliens are me,
And when you find yourself a-gazing at the early hazy sun
You're gonna shed a light on why
You ever lost the one

With folks transcending all the time
It makes me wonder why we cry
For old regrets that battle in the night
Cause as I watch these seasons change
Again I marvel at the rain
That lets the leaves return without a fight
Cause through the eyes of every child
You're perfect as you are
See we're coming from a place that isn't near and isn't far
And when you hear a baby cry
Be sure that laughter's round the nearest start

Resistance to the spinning sphere
Will keep you rooted in your fear
Unlock your joy, it wants to be revered
Just as you know it always was-
That every heart returns to love
Before you ever needed a "because"
Ever needed a because

I hear parents say to children
"This is what the world is through your eyes,
through your eyes"

I see the beats between their hearts make
All the earth seem counterpart sometimes
Sometimes

But other times, what's out is in
And in is out but then again
Who knows? Who knows?
Cause parents turn to children too, and children
Back to parents who supposed
That they know.
