Snail Lyrics

I happened upon a snail, but in my limited understanding, I thought

This must be what people call a whale because I've never seen the ocean

The smallest thing that you can see might be the biggest thing to me

The hardest thing that I will do might be a simple thing to you

My hands are so small

But, my heart is so full

I read a book and it did me no good

It just showed me how small I really am

When I was younger, I misunderstood

I thought that knowledge gave you the upper hand

When I was young, I was dumb

This world's so unhappy

Why do we need to know everything about everyone in the whole galaxy

When I was young, I was dumb, but I think I was happy then

I happened upon a thought, that if we turned off the power

I'm pretty sure that we'd be better off, Cuz we could never catch all the

Evening news that's meant to scare and steal away our thoughts and prayers

From the people that are close to us, who need a hand to help them up

My hands are so small

But, my heart is so full

I read a book and it did me no good

It just showed me how small I really am

When I was younger, I misunderstood

I thought that knowledge gave you the upper hand

When I was young, I was dumb

This world's so unhappy

Why do we need to know everything about everyone in the whole galaxy

When I was young, I was dumb, but I think I was happy then

It's so unhappy. It's so unhappy. It's so unhappy. It's so unhappy

It's so unhappy. It's so unhappy. It's so unhappy. It's so unhappy

When I was young, I was dumb

I thought this whole world was love

But now, I'm grown. The cover's blown

This world's so unhappy
