Shiny object I've got to hand it to you You're small And you caught my eye In the water Pushed by the tide I found you Can I carry you around? Walking With air all around me On land Life's hard & heavy And man Is tough & brittle Fickle & flawed Feet on the ground Shiny, can I carry you around? Similar I'm not the same I see beauty And where you came from Shiny object What are you made of? Reflecting the sun The sand & my smile Can I spend time With you for a while? Do you know What you're doing here? By showing me Myself in the flesh So smooth Protected by the sea Moving you Might ruin your qualities So I leave Looking back to see Hoping another will do The same as me
