lyrics

A Small Word

I counted all the seeds in an apple
who could count all the apples in a seed?
How can I know the things I want are the things I need?
Only the asking brings receiving
Only the asking brings regiving
back to me for all to see

Sing out a small word for such a big thing
Sing out a small word for such a big thing

So who are the ones who question intention
who hold a whole universe in their hands?
Who are the ones who know the meaning of high romance?
Only the asking brings receiving
Only the knowing returns the regiving
back to you through all you do

Sing out a small word for such a big thing
Sing out a small word for such a big thing

All my relations beneath the sun
I can see myself mirrored in everyone
Still I can forget to see myself in my closest ones
As if the reflection of my nearest mirror
is too much to bear so I can't even hear or
see the truth as if I still needed proof

Sing out a small word for such a big thing
