Iridescent ants

If only you could see how beautiful the world is You wouldn't care about all these awful people I like to look to the sky and see something bigger than me It's bigger but it looks so small Just big enough not to be overwhelmed By all your little beauty But you can't decide You're wanderers and from you I've learned to wander From you came the wanderlust And from you came the hope The hope to be like you You don't go at each other Sometimes you bump Sometimes you die But you don't mind Peace at its finest The dalai would be proud You move very much in all your peace Just like little working ants move around the ground You move around your ever-reaching canvas of ebony Tiny little incandescent ant Tiny tiny shiny ant My little glowing ants moving across the sky I wish I could lose myself in you Become one of you and know of your little hidden treasures Could you come in my pocket? Just a few Just imagine what good I could do With a pocketful of bliss and magical wonder I would help anyone who's ever been down But we will need more than one pocket Flock to me my iridescent ants! Lets make sure when we reach you, we reach you happy
