Big
I may be small
But everything else about me sure isn't
I have a big heart and a big voice
Big ideas and aspirations
And one big appetite
Yep, the only thing small about me is my body
But was it the body or the mind that turned jungles into cities?
Was it the body or the heart that loved the "unloveable"?
Was it the body or the soul that created art?
I suppose it was the body that made the house you live in
The clothes on your back and the food you eat
Since we pay attention to the body so much
I guess the body will find a cure for cancer
And the body will inspire young minds in the classroom
I guess bodies fall in love and do great things
Things greater than the mind, right?
Because all the mind does is control the body
You can't see it
You can't see the brilliant thoughts and ideas
You can't see that today's dreams are tomorrow's reality
So it must not be true that the world
Is simply a platform on which our imagination pours out from within us
And becomes the reality that we live in
And if it is true
When will we stop treating people's minds as second-class citizens?
When will we stop acting like the body is everything?
When will we begin to act as big as we really are?
