if you find yourself sinkin....

if you wanna walk, you gotta forget how to crawl
if youre gonna stand real tall you gotta learn how to fall
without breaking anything.

& if you wanna fly you gotta forget how to walk
if you wanna get real high you may forget how to talk
without bumblin, bee.

& if you find yourself sinkin just breathe & point your toes
towards the sky, oxygen, trust your nose, it knows
the human body floats, i swear it aint a myth
that life jacket got holes in it, dont even take it with
itll take you down quicker than a bucket o marbles.

if youre wantin to break ground you first gotta learn to use a shovel
& if you wanna live subterraneous you first gotta move outta your hovel.
& leave all your things behind.

& if youre wantin to be a miner of earths most precious gems
all you need is some slaves & then leave it up to thems
& crack tha whip.

a bucket without rocks in it will stay above water
what else floats? a duck. sticks. chickens. an otter.
& very small rocks.

who are you, so wise in the ways of science?
im the lorax, the manipulator of word & wood
wettin lips & bustin silence.

if you wanna come original you gotta learn to use the brain
im not sayin use more than 10%, just a different portion than say shane
or brian or phil or stu.

a different 10%. dont b scared just break on through.
