Fueled by the songs of New Orleans indie songwriter Jack Morris, The OverSoul delivers acoustic gems in the alternative, folk rock, and country genres.
"We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related; the eternal ONE. And this deep power in which we exist, and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one. We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree; but the whole, of which these are the shining parts, is the soul." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson, "The Over-Soul"

Lyrics
Verse 1: Grown-ups are too big to see the ground Grown-ups are too big to see the ground They watch the costumes masks and arms The throws into the crowd From giant floats like little clouds They catch stuff in the air But if it hits the ground They leave it there They leave it there Verse 2: Grown-ups hide even the highest floats Grown-ups hide even the highest floats Backs and backs of heads and hands Like tiny treetops block the view So all I see are tractor wheels And lots of legs and Big big shoes Big big shoes Bridge: And they don’t notice me Because I’m littler than them I’m a bratty kid Without a leash I just wander free Among these Amazonians No grown-up’s gonna rain on My parade My parade Verse 3: Grown-ups don't know what they're missing Grown-ups don't know what they're missing Dodging knees I stoop and scoop up Tons of treasures in a blink They think they're smart But down here I'm the King I’m the King [Repeat Bridge] Verse 4: Grown-ups are too big to see the ground Grown-ups are too big to see the ground Dodging knees I stoop and scoop up Tons of treasures in a blink They think they're smart But down here I'm the King I’m the King Coda: They think they're smart But down here I'm the King I’m the King Words and Music by Jack Morris Copyright (c) 1998
