Bottled Up Boat
Navigating Life's Miniature Marvels: Bottled Up Boat
Lyrics
A bottled up boat in a bigger ship
A small, contained boat within a larger ship.
A palmetto in a palm tree forest
A palmetto tree surrounded by a forest of palm trees.
A dirty old shell, in an ocean tossed to sand
A weathered shell tossed from the ocean onto the sand.
Is it funny or is it sad
Pondering whether the situation is amusing or melancholic.
The tiny bit of life we have
Reflecting on the smallness of life.
A cup of tea in it's maker's hands
A cup of tea held by its maker.
A bonsai tree under redwood limbs
A bonsai tree beneath the limbs of a redwood tree.
A little pebble in a raked zen garden
A small pebble in a carefully raked Zen garden.
Is it funny or is it sad
Questioning the emotional tone of the situation.
The tiny bitty life we have
Reiterating the smallness of life.
A bottled up boat in a catamaran
A boat confined within a catamaran.
Wanna let my sail fill up with the wind
Expressing a desire to catch the wind and sail.
A little to small maybe to understand
Feeling possibly too small to comprehend.
I'm a bottled up boat and that's not my plan
Rejecting the idea of being a bottled-up boat as the plan.
A bottled up boat wanna feel the waves
Expressing a desire to feel the waves.
A bottled up boat soaking in sun rays
A boat yearning to soak in sunlight.
Is it funny or is it sad
Repeating the question of whether the situation is humorous or sorrowful.
The tiny bit of life we have
Emphasizing the brevity of life.
Such a tiny life
Reflecting on the smallness of life.
That we get to live
Acknowledging the limited time we have to live.
A big ole world
Not feeling ready for the vastness of the world.
I'm not ready for it
Expressing unreadiness for the enormity of the world.
I need a test run
Desiring a trial or preparation before facing the world.
Or a grow my own kit
Expressing a need for a test run or personal growth kit.
