<1,000

Told my uncle once
That we'll someday be discovered
He just laughed and said
They can't even hear ya
A kid somewhere putting money against the majors
Skipping class, still unsure what to say

Less than one thousand
A wish in the fountain
Audience of none
But we sure had fun
One thousand
Though it's just begun
Haven't left the harbor
And I'm lost at sea

Forgot to eat
And don't ever wanna sleep, no no
Piano in my head, a melody just for me
A woman somewhere passing through Gary Indiana
Saying "I could be the queen up high
And you can hold the camera"

Less than one thousand
A bird on the mountain
Insignificant hum
But it sure was fun
One thousand
Gave me peace
Doesn't that mean anything?
Yeah it does to me

A father somewhere
Makes up a song for his newborn
Saying this one's just for you
We won't hear it on the radio
It's too slow and out of tune
But it got us through Louisiana

Less than one thousand
A drop in the ocean
Was made to be heard
But then forgotten
One thousand
Has a purpose to me
You can't add it to the stats
But who's counting?

Who's counting?
