I decided on that evening
That I was through with sitting still
I stood up and started moving
With a childlike fascination
For those doors that don't have locks
And the stairways that were blocked
So I dug through the obstruction
Put my fist around the railing
And each step was far apart
And far away from steps before it
And the air was getting thinner
Until I couldn't breathe at all
And if I happened to look behind me
There were miles and miles of stairs
Enough so I couldn't see the doorway
But I knew that it was there
And on the last step I was dizzy
Because there were stairs in all directions
But I found another door
And through the door there was the attic
Without old clothes
Without a ceiling
Everything had opened wide
Into the jaws of something bigger
And suddenly I saw that I was
Upstairs and outside
And freezing on the roof
Finally, it had found me
The answer, the feeling, and the truth
That I'm small
That I'm small
That I'm small
I'm smaller than the smallest fireball
Eu decidi naquela tarde
Que estava cansado de ficar sentado
Eu me levantei e comecei a me mover
Com um fascínio de criança
Em direção às portas sem trincos
E as escadarias que estavam fechadas
Então eu cavei através da obstrução
Escalei a grade
E cada passo estava largo
E muito longe dos passos que vieram antes
E o ar ficava mais raso
Até eu não conseguir respirar
E se eu olhasse para trás
Eu veria milhas e milhas de escadas
O suficiente para fazer a porta desaparecer
Mas eu sabia que ela estava lá
E no último degrau eu estava tonto
Porque haviam escadas em todo canto
Mas eu encontrei mais uma porta
E através dessa porta estava o sótão
Sem roupas velhas
Sem telhado
Tudo se abriu claramente
Nas mandíbulas de algo maior
E de repente percebi que estava
No andar de cima e do lado de fora
Congelando no telhado
Finalmente, eu encontrei
A resposta, o sentimento e a verdade
Que eu sou pequeno
Que eu sou pequeno
Que eu sou pequeno
Eu sou menor que a menor bola de fogo
