How much of this world
do you have to see
How much is in your view
Walking down the street
you're used to driving-by
There's more for eyes to greet
than you're willing to even try
You see it all as something else
all like things you've seen before
It's all the same and nothing else
It's all just more, & more, & more
How much of this world
do you have to see
How sizable is it to you
The world is vastly big
It's full of redundant size
The street birds know the jig
They can see the redundant skies
They know they aren't above it
and see no more need to fly
They peck at crumbs & love it
ignoring the cyclic passers-by
How much of this world
do you have to see
How much is there for you
As you walk and keep walking
in steps like steps before
People talk and keep talking
and their talk is all one roar
Is there one word inside this
apart from all you've heard
Is there anything besides this
this ever ruminating herd
How much of this world
do you have to see
before you've seen it all
Suddenly you lose your step
and fall back down to earth
Seeing shortfalls of your misstep
is like witnessing your birth
You see the same world opened-up
as your eyes expand their view
Your once half-empty broken cup
spills out in front of you
How much of this world
do you have to see
before you've seen it all
The ambulance is quick
but your blood pours out so fast
You used to think you were so slick
when it was all the same forecast
It's so sad your eyes are open now
like never once before
as you wish there only was somehow
they wouldn't close forever more
How much of this world
will you wish to see
before you've seen it all
