When I go for a drive, I like to pull off to the side
Ahead of the road, turn out the lights, get out and look up at the sky
And I do this to remind me that I'm really, really tiny
In the grand scheme of things, and sometimes this terrifies me
It's only really scary, 'cause it makes me feel serene
In a way I never thought I'd be because I've never been
So grounded, and so humbled, and so on with everything
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything
Rock and roll is fun, but if you ever hear someone
Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun
Look at the ocean, and the desert, and the mountains, and the sky
Say I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
When I saw Genevieve, I really liked it when she said
What she said about the giant, and the lemmings on the cliff
She said, "I like giants
Especially girl giants
'Cause all girls feel too big sometimes
Regardless of their size"
When I go for a drive, I like to pull off to the side
Of the road and run and jump into the ocean in my clothes
I'm smaller than a poppy-seed inside a great big bowl
And the ocean is a giant that can swallow me whole
So I swim for all salvation, and I swim to save my soul
But my soul is just a whisper trapped inside a tornado
So I flip to my back, and I float and I sing
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything
So I talked to Genevieve and almost cried when she said
That the giant on the cliff wished that she was dead
And the lemmings on the cliff wished that they were dead
So the giant told the lemmings why they ought to live instead
When she thought up all those reasons that they ought to live instead
Made her reconsider all the sad thoughts in her head
So thank you, Genevieve, 'cause you take what is in your head
You make things that are so beautiful and share them with your friends
We all become important when we realize our goal
Should be to figure out our role within the context of the whole
And yeah, rock and roll is fun, but if you ever hear someone
Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun
Look at the ocean, and the desert, and the mountains, and the sky
Say I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
And I don't wanna make her cry
'Cause I like giants
