How small we are
Can life be held
In the palm of one's hand
As a boy tries to hold the beach
In a fistful of sand
Or a very clever man
Who reaps every book
To know life, to understand
Are we merely
A drop in the ocean
Or rather the ocean
In our small, tiny drop
Where do I start
And where do I stop
Am I life
Or am I not
