Here we all are
Planets and galaxies
Solar systems
Stars in this infinite jar
So big we can’t travel it all
Tinted glass no one can see out
People watching us like God
What we have been told is that a bigger
Power controls us
We can’t see it
Even though we sure do try to
This being is who puts us in our lives
This fish tank is not measurable
But the world outside is unthinkable
We can try to pray and communicate to
the outside world
But like a fish no one can understand
We might enter this outside world after
our adventure here comes to an end
But we can’t communicate to each other
The people in the outside world
