Pebbles

Well it would be a lovely start To plant some pebbles in the garden Hope to grow a planet large That floats around in our backyard And yes, your family still could visit We haven't left the solar system If they request consent to land We'll accept if we are wearing pants But most days let's just float on top And orbit all our favorite spots If we get dizzy, let's fall off A couple cozy astronauts Well it would be a lovely start To plant some pebbles in the garden If it won't rain it doesn't matter We'll water them with tears of laughter At first there might not be much to it No forest, roads or rivers through it A rocky globe to start us off And on it grow the world we want The neighbors will all think we're strange As we wave at them from outer space But I had to know just how it felt To grow something bigger than... What I have built alone A home I thought I'd never leave But you and I can shape a world The lakes and towns and everything We'll put a planet in the sky Grown from pebbles, you and I And if little aliens do invade Attempts at peace will still be made I'll contact them with gifts but if They reject those I will insist On meeting their attacks with might A big galactic pillow fight And just before they win we're told They're allergic to the whimsical So I'll blast this song and don't you know The sweetness makes their heads explode And look they're filled with popcorn so Let's grab a snack, sit back, and watch the show I'm not a chemist, no, I am no geologist But you and I can shape a world The lakes and towns and all of it And bit by bit and stone by stone The pebbles take the shape of somethin' else That's growing bigger than myself
