Beach Ball
main lyrics
All the world is like a beach ball
out in space between the waves
in the hands of laughing babies
all the world is gumball shaped

Hello, moon
hello, stars in the sky
heaven, won't you
answer me, and why

I ring the bell till someone listens
look upon this burning city
victory smiles, but wicked man
does he feel the weight of every finger
hanging off his heavy hands?

I ring the bell till someone listens
bring me gold and bring me wisdom
give me scars to bring me grace
a wicked wit, and when I use it
dash the hopes of those who hate me
give me love big as a mountain, oh

I ring the bell till someone listens
melt your words right to my skin
and your smile, my flesh and bones
from the mountains I will sing you
through your veins my river flows

I ring the bell till someone listens
bring me gold and bring me wisdom
give me scars to bring me grace
a wicked wit, and when I use it
dash the hopes of those who hate me
give me love big as a mountain, oh

Ring the bells till someone listens
bring me hope and bring me wisdom
give me scars to bring me grace
a wicked wit, and when I use it
dash the hopes of those who hate me
give me love big as a beach ball
oh, give me love big as a beach ball, yeah
