Christopher

from E.P. by Will Gattis

lyrics

Christopher
Sits beneath a tree
He's looking for an answer
He sees the tree
He sees the people running oh so quickly by
Christopher
Sees a blade of grass
He picks it up to see what it is for
But it just does and falls back to the ground right where it was before
Christopher
Looks around confused
Where's everybody going?

Christopher
Sees a girl
She doesn't walk, she runs, she's late, she's headed off
Why does she hurry so?
Why can't she stand around
and stay with Christopher and feel the breeze and watch the trees and look into the sky?
Christopher
Looks around confused
Where's everybody going?

We're all lost and in a hurry
Christopher, where are we going?
Why the rush?
Can't we stop and see the view, just like you?
Christopher

Christopher
Sees a bird who eats a worm
The worm did nothing to the bird
Christopher feels very sorry for the worm
Christopher
What's the question? What's the answer?
People run too fast to hear
Christopher
Looks around confused
Where's everybody going?

We're all lost and in a hurry
Christopher, where are we going?
Why the rush?
Can't we stop and see the view, just like you?
Christopher

Christopher
Why can't the world be made of people just like you
Who see the warm and fuzzy happy side of life?
Why isn't anybody looking anymore?
Christopher

We're all lost and in a hurry
Christopher, where are we going?
Why the rush?
Can't we stop and see the view, just like you?
Christopher
