Feel the weight of smaller things
Plant a seed and watch it grow
Open eyes and be aware
Speak your truth, and always care
And feel the weight of smaller things

      Then sunlight will shine down
      And warm the wet ground
      Then moisture will rise up
      Feeding the clouds
      And when they are ready
      They'll rain down again

      Then the seed that you planted
      Will reach for the sky
      And bring you sweet shadow
      From summer's hot sun

Feel the weight of smaller things
Toss a pebble in the pond
Close your eyes imagining
Where you'll go from where you've been
And feel the weight of smaller things

      Then the pebble, now sinking
      To the depths of the pool
      Will find silence and mystery
      In the water so cool
      As it sways to the bottom
      To gently touch down

      And now the skies that reflected
      With great clouds and the sun
      Are all blending together
      From that one little stone
      Feel the weight of smaller things...

Feel the weight of smaller things
Listen to their hearts beat low
Be amazed at what you'll find
Deep in purpose and grand in design
And feel the weight of smaller things
