SMALL
When I was small
They seemed so very tall
They were much taller than me
They knew I was small
They knew they knew it all
And they knew much better than me
They knew much better than me
When I would bawl
They heard nothing at all
It sounded important to me
When I could crawl
They thought I 'd help them haul
But I guess I just thought I was free
I guess I just thought I was free
When I grew tall
They seemed so very small
I guess I just could not agree
They'd stutter and stall
They knew fuck all at all
Well it seemed just like fuck all to me
It seemed like fuck all to me
When I was sinking
So busily thinking
Your smallness it's not part of me
I'd crawl back inside
I’d hate them I’d hide
I forgot just how small I could be
I forgot how small I could be
With traps overturned
I listened I learned
I cursed as I climbed up their tree
Turned inside out oh
So sure I could shout
I remembered how small I could be
Remembered how small I could be
With unfolded wings
I thought of those things
They taught as I stumbled on truth
I cant see the sense
O’ your seat on a fence
And your yoke it will not yield to youth
Your yoke it will not yield to youth
They know no better than me
I guess I still think that I'm free.
