See Me Small

The night is blue with the sky eyes of you.

This memory does float by.

It is only I.

Don't let me fall for I am just small.

That's not all, but yes, I am just small.

Looking back at little shoe prints in the sand,

I look down inside and for once I think I understand.

It's me and I'm here,

and I can hear your call.

Don't let me fall for I am just small.

That's not all, no, that's not all,

but I am small.

I sing big.

I fly high.

I love large.

Time goes by.

The day will be yellow with the sunshine sounds.

I will be here,

but you won't know I'm around

because I'm holding my breath to keep

these feet on the ground.

I thought that I was big.

You know,

I didn't realize that I am small.

Walking in sand and looking back at small tracks.

Little feet.

It was me but it doesn't really matter as much as I thought.

So I still say;

don't lt me fall.

Don't let me fall.

Don't let me fall for I am just small.
