Tiny feet on a dusty road

A leaf for shade a heavy load

The sun’s a fire the ground’s a sea

An ant with dreams as big as me

It's a long way home so far so wide

Through the blades of grass where shadows hide

Step by step the journey grows

An ant will find where the heartstone glows

A pebble’s a mountain a crack’s a trench

The air’s so thick you can almost quench

But the stars come out to light the climb

An ant walks steady one grain at a time

Do you hear the hum the marching sound

A tiny heart that won’t back down

It's a long way home so far so wide

Through the blades of grass where shadows hide

Step by step the journey grows

An ant will find where the heartstone glows

Oh the wind may blow and the rain may fall

The world feels big but the ant feels tall

Every twist and turn every uphill fight

Leads closer still to the porchlight’s light
