Lyrics

Water Spider

Water Spider, you can?t catch me
I am running at a hundred and three
Miles per hour to the island of trees.

Water Spider, I play from a point of strength.
Count me lucky that I can sink
Even if I cannot walk on waves.
In my parents? world my feet burn on the asphalt.

I?m running as fast as I can.
-Hope this rock will help me stand.
Will it wobble? Will it be?
I am strong now. I have grown.
Nobody knows that I am home.
I am alone but I am free.

Water Spider, where your pond is still
All the running from over the hill
Cannot reach you. So don?t be afraid.

Water Spider, I know that I should have asked
Before I grabbed you and jumped from the tallest ledge.
But you should?ve seen your tiny, squinched up face.
It was an explosion of indignant, insect disgrace.

I?m running as fast as I can.
-Hope this rock will help me stand.
Will it wobble? Will it be?
I am strong now. I have grown.
Nobody knows that I am home.
I am alone but I am free.

Now when this day is done, loud ovation to the sun
And goodnight to all the bees.
We?ll welcome in the stars and we?ll count each other?s arms
And we?ll laugh ?cause you have more than me.
