With her fancy black dress
And black hat and veil
Is she a lovely lady?
Her fancy accent and shiny gloves
Does that make her a lovely lady
Her stressed butler and fat limousine
Is she now a lovely lady?
Her love to others misfortune and grief
Is she a lovely lady?
She isn't a lovely lady?
Kindness, generosity, manners, and politeness
Now that's a lovely lady.

That bog happy family down the block
Why they're so jolly for a family of 8
Always going in their SUV and coming back laughing
The momma with her black hair glowing
Hugging her children
I hear their dinner prayers from my bedroom
Their Friday night card games
Always running around and laughing
Why laughing should be their middle name
They throw block parties
The hotdogs on their grill can be smelled a mile away
Their the big happy family

Echoes reverbate inside
this blue satellite,
signals of sadness and
ashen butterflies.

It's the little things
that bring nature to life,
smaller still are
the things that **** light.
