• help me out,
    said the minnow to the trout
    i was lost and found
    myself swimming in your mouth

    oh, help me chief,
    I've got plans for you and me
    I swear upon this riverbed,
    I'll help you feel young again

    oh, not your everyday circumstance
    the hummingbird
    taking coffee with the ants,
    and I said

    please, I know that we're different
    but we were one cell in the sea in the beginning
    and what we're made of was all the same once
    we're not that different after all

    help me up, said the eagle to the duck
    I've fallen from my nest so high above
    oh, help me fly, I am too afraid to try
    now saddled with a fear of heights
    I'm praying you can set me right

    oh, not your everyday circumstance
    the elephant
    sharing peanuts with the rats,
    and I said

    we are tied in history,
    wide-connected like a family
    we are tied in history,
    wide-connected like a family, a family...

    so please, I know that we're different
    but we were one cell in the sea in the beginning
    and what we're made of was all the same once
    we're not that different after all
