"The Minnow & The Trout"--A Fine Frenzy

Help me out,
Said the minnow to the trout
I was lost and found
Myself swimming in your mouth

Oh, help me chief,
I've got plans for you and me
I swear upon this riverbed,
I'll help you feel young again

Oh, not your everyday circumstance
The hummingbird
Taking coffee with the ants,
And I said

Please, I know that we're different
But we were one cell in the sea
In the beginning
And what we're made of
Was all the same once
We're not that different after all

Help me out,
Said the eagle to the dove
I've fallen from
My nest so high above

Oh, help me fly
I am too afraid to try
Now saddled with a fear of heights
I'm praying you can set me right

Oh, not your everyday circumstance
The elephant
Sharing peanuts with the rats
And I said

Please, I know that we're different
But we were one cell in the sea
In the beginning
And what we're made of
Was all the same once
We're not that different after all

We are tied in history,
Wide-connected like a family, a family
We are tied in history,
Wide-connected like a family, a family...
