Nature taught me first I watched a leaf fall It did not panic It just committed to the ground I saw a beetle stroll Like he paid rent here I tried that same confidence Then I sat down The river never apologizes It just keeps on moving The tree don't post no updates It just stands there proving Nature teaches us Look, dust lies and does nothing So do I So do I Nature teaches us Look, dust lies and does nothing So do I So do I A squirrel took one look Then took the whole snack I call that good planning I call that self-respect The wind had a message It blew right through me I said, "That's deep, bro" Then forgot the rest The moon don't chase attention It just shows up shining I built a whole to-do list Then watched it start declining Nature teaches us Look, dust lies and does nothing So do I So do I Nature teaches us Look, dust lies and does nothing So do I So do I I am a garden statue With a very busy face I make one tiny effort Then I return to place The clouds are out there working On a shape I'll never be I wave at my own laziness It waves right back at me Nature teaches us Look, dust lies and does nothing So do I So do I Nature teaches us Look, dust lies and does nothing So do I So do I
