Tortoise and Hair

When the walls that you built with your two tiny hands
Fall down tired beneath the mighty winds
That’s when you’ll look at the big picture

When you build and build again ‘til your whole day is spent
And you watch the sun go down, you wonder where it went
You’ll start to think about the big picture

You’ll see it looking back at you. No, it won’t tell you what to do
And it will let you cry your eyes out. It’ll see you live it through.

When you look to your left and you look to your right
And you see your neighbor cry and throw his hands up in his plight
You’ll start to see it, the big picture

You’ll see it staring back at you. No, it won’t tell you what to do
And it will let you curse the day. It will see you live it through.

When this world spins around over and again
And then finally settles down and rolls over on it’s head
That’s when you’ll need it, the big picture

And you’ll be fine…
When the walls that you built
Fall down tired
Build, build again
And watch the sun go down
