Free to Roam

If we were bigger
The size of mountains, snow capped and foggy
Maybe we would be able to see
The horizon wouldn't seem so far away
And the sky would be our neighbor
Topping us off with snowflakes
From time to time
Maybe we would be heard
Our stomachs grumbling with the earth
We would be of the earth
We would be the earth
If we were smaller
The size of ants, maybe less
Maybe we would be able to survive
Hunting for food when food is everywhere
Beneath our feet, under our noses
Maybe we could stay hidden
From all the wild beasts
Who wouldn't look like beasts to us
Just mountains roaming
Or giants orbiting
We would be of the earth
We would be the earth
If I am the size you say I am
Then the mountains are the giants
Staying put in their thrones on the earth
Then the ants are that small
So much farther from the sun
Then I do hear
The earth grumbling
When it rises
Waking up to cater another long day
If I am on the earth
Then the earth ages the same as I
Only one side sleeps as the other wakes
If I am the size you say I am
Then I am of the earth
Then I am the earth
