Among Grasshoppers

Encouragement

Lost among the grasshoppers

We ants all bow our heads

The feeling that we're nobody

Is worse than being dead

They're so beautiful 

With buzzing wings

Making music of the night

The melodies they sing

It's hard to be an ant you know

To work all your life

Feeling true pain and sorrow

Misery and strife

But don't let grasshoppers live for you

There's always a silver lining 

Go do what you love to do 

And forget all the grasshopper whining
