ty c. miller - tadpoles lyrics

[intro]
i just wanna reach the top of himalaya
but i don’t wanna stab the peak and stay up
i wanna feel the surface of the moon
but can i wait until 42?
my world is a little small
and you can say the same about yours
we don’t have enough inertia
to fill this pool of tadpoles

[verse]
since august, i’ve been 18 years old
graduating high school
enough said
checking the mail
i’m old enough to vote
but am i old enough to grow out my legs yet?
i’ve been isolated until now
i know my mom wanna keep us safe
but i’m on the line between outgoing and a newfound introvert
who has a lot of online friends
and plays things off like they’re great
but they sure can be better
can a guy like me play a big show
if i haven’t even tried on a sweater?
that’s the kind of thing i ask myself
and i ponder if i need a lot of help
but i know one thing for sure
i can’t just live off of kelp
i need to stick my head out the water
find the nearest lilypad
then hop to the next lilypad
then the next lilypad
then the last lilypad
then land my feet on the ground
then walk
take one step at a time
then roll and bounce
now follow the dragonflies
[bridge]
climb a tree
swing from ropes
don’t just sit and mope
find a stick over there
toss it in the air
make a noise
make a sound
everybody say it now
we are tadpoles
we are people
we will make this town
build a home
build defense
out of a wooden fence
build a church
build a faith
now you’re feeling safe
build a song
make it loud
everybody say it now
we are tadpoles
we are people
we will make this town

[outro]
whatever this world is
whatever it is that we call home
your house
your forest
your jungle
your lilypad
let us strive to make the most of it
and make that a promise
for the people
for the neighborhood
for the family
for you
i wanna take things one step at a time
and never stop walking
i hope you take a staircase of your own
your own path to glory
and i hope glory is whatever you strive for it to be
