I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye.

I deactivated my Facebook for the last eight weeks of my time in Ghana. It makes me do things like talk to actual human beings instead of sitting on my bunk bed lurking people an ocean away.

Instead of scrolling through those photos of that girl in my high school plant biology's weekend trip to Vegas, I went outside and thought about who I am and who I want to be and how everything is pretty alright.

Kimya Dawson has this really beautiful song called "I Like Giants" and I hadn't thought about it in a very long time, but as I sat outside, staring at the brightest night sky I've ever seen, I couldn't help but sing it in my head and smiling at how applicable and perfect everything in my little life is.

(Okay, I sing it out loud, too. I'm sure the goats loved my off-tune vocals.)

Enjoy.

When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side
Of the road, turn out the lights, get out and look up at the skyAnd I do this to remind me that I'm really, really tinyIn the grand scheme of things and sometimes this terrifies me

But it's only really scary cause it makes me feel serene
In a way I never thought I'd be because I've never been
So grounded, and so humbled, and so one with everything
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything

Rock and roll is fun but if you ever hear someone
Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun
Look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky
Say I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye

I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
When I saw Geneviève I really liked it when she said
What she said about the giant and the lemmings on the cliff

She said 'I like giants
Especially girl giants
Cause all girls feel too big sometimes
Regardless of their size'

When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side
Of the road and run and jump into the ocean in my clothes
I'm smaller than a poppyseed inside a great big bowl
And the ocean is a giant that can swallow me whole

So I swim for all salvation and I swim to save my soul
But my soul is just a whisper trapped inside a tornado
So I flip to my back and I float and I sing
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everythingI am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything

So I talked to Geneviève and almost cried when she said
That the giant on the cliff wished that she was dead
And the lemmings on the cliff wished that they were dead
So the giant told the lemmings why they ought to live instead

When she thought up all those reasons that they ought to live instead
It made her reconsider all the sad thoughts in her head
So thank you Geneviève, cause you take what is in your head
you make things that are so beautiful and share them with your friends

We all become important when we realize our goal
Should be to figure out our role within the context of the whole
And yeah, rock and roll is fun, but if you ever hear someone
Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun
Look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky

Say I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
And I don't wanna make her cry
Cause I like giants
