Why would i be small?

Lyrics by Katie Roche

with thanks to Jen Knights

 Why would I be small, where them hurting little shoes?

Couldn’t chase no dog, couldn’t run after you

Fit in the palm of your hand, just a whisper in your ear

Drink my weight in air, getting drunk off one beer

Push in a little seed the one I saved for me

It starts out fine like hair then it grow tall and fine like me

Tend it like a little child, Invite the honey bees

every season  is sweet with-a sting, but it’s worth it to be free

Why would I be small, dainty as the morning dew

These thick strong arms been feeding me / and they been feeding you too

Watch me eat until I’m full, loudest cackle in the room

Watch me fill up the sky like a harvest blood moon

Push in a little seed the one I saved for me

It starts out fine like hair then it grow tall and fine like me

Tend it like a little child, Invite the honey bees

every season  is sweet with-a sting, but it’s worth it to be free
