it s the small things charlie brown

Ben Folds

Shh, could you hear that?
No, no, you ve got to listen closer
The dandelion speaks
Don t laugh, she s got some things to teach us
It s the small things like us
We come together to make big things
Like the baseball game
It s not just one, it s everyone
And to be fair
We don t own this ground, Charlie Brown
We share it

So woah up, slow down
There s life on the mound
Can you hear the sound?
It s the small things, Charlie Brown

Can t you see yourself right there?
That s you alone, you r? a lonely flower
But a field of us, you know
W? make a team and that s our power
So be aware
Of where you step
And what and who you might be stepping on

Look up, look now
So huge, so wow
Let me break it down
Little droplets make big clouds
It s the small things, Charlie Brown

Lots and lots of the tiniest dots can make shapes
Even faces when viewed far away
And the quietest voice can cut through the noise
When you re speaking the truth

Look up, look down
The sky and the ground
Getting louder now
The voice of the bravest flower
Too small to hear without
Some perspective, Charlie Brown
Do the right thing, are you with me, Charlie Brown?
