Once you’ve been in the ocean A lake is far too small If a lake ever had ledges Off them you would surely fall You’ve swam in much too big of a place To move to another without so much space A pond will never be your true home Not for you not once you’re full grown Your arms will be too big your legs too giant Your body in a puddle will never be complaint So as you develop from a child to something bigger Remember that you’re an ocean not a river Your brain is too big so your body had to fit it And living in a river would would surely **** your big sprit Stay in the place that fits like a size too big shoe Where there’s plenty of space for you to grow up to be you

If I Was Shel Silverstein.
Once you’ve been in the ocean A lake is far too small If a lake ever had ledges Off them you would surely fall You’ve swam in much too big of a place To move to another without so much space A pond will never be your true home Not for you not once you’re full grown Your arms will be too big your legs too giant Your body in a puddle will never be complaint So as you develop from a child to something bigger Remember that you’re an ocean not a river Your brain is too big so your body had to fit it And living in a river would would surely **** your big sprit Stay in the place that fits like a size too big shoe Where there’s plenty of space for you to grow up to be you
