Trust Your Insects

Well a lotta things really bug me
Most of those things are kinda dumb
You can be dumb if you want to
You can be kind, or you can be numb
When I think back on my journeys
I remember one night in Brazil
Thousands of beetles on the ground there
They were doing their dance under the moon
Trust your insects
Dig in the dirt
Find your moments
To soften the hurt
Trust your insects
Worm your way
It’s the little things
That make life okay
After it rains, the bugs are all happy
it softens the ground, it freshens the air
The worms feed the earth, from shit comes flowers
The bees spread their love just by being there
I know for a fact that chickens eat insects
It’s part of their nature, it’s all good
If I was a chicken I’d probly eat insects
But I’m just a boy, not made of wood
Trust your insects
Eat what you will
Hold me closer
Experience it all
Trust your insects
And watch where you step
There may be souls underfoot
Keeping the world going round
One of these days I gotta get going
Get back on the road, to open my eyes
Live out of a bag, and sleep on the ground some
Meet all the bugs, no matter their size
So I wish to you something simple
Be what you are, but don’t be a dick
And remember the insects all around us
Lead with love, don't lead with a stick
Trust your insects
Lead with love
Find your treasures
In the trees above
Trust your insects
Take a beetle bow
Ask the bugs you meet
They might show you how
