I'm a Little Bee (Patreon Version)

about

"I'm a Little Bee" is a short jazzy little song based on a dream I had once that there was this matrix-y honeycomb made of light with each little hexagon in the honeycomb being a consciousness that mingled freely as it desired with the other consciousnesses.

And being alive was a bit like going in search of nectar to bring it back to the hive mind. (The weekly prompt for my songwriters group was "Heaven.")

lyrics

I’m a Little Bee
Copyright 2017 by Mary Crowell

I’m a little bee in a honeycomb of light,
A honeycomb of light, my dance is such a sight.
A honeycomb’s the place for a little bee like me
Little bee like me. It’s just the place to be.

Buzza buzza buzza buzza buzza buzz buzz. [X2]

We bees communicate with a buzzy little dance,
Insightful little dance, no meaning left to chance.
We bees don’t have a queen in this bee analogy,
Bee analogy, but it seems to work for me.

The other bees can smell all the things I want to tell,
And we fan each other well when it gets hot.
Our glowing little hive’s feeling full of light—alive!
How we buzz and dance and thrive on honeyhoneyhoney we have got.

I might become a bee, when I die or go to sleep,
Die or go to sleep, in nectar I go deep.
I go into the worldly world and see what I can see,
See what I can see, And fly back to the tree.
[Reprise First Verse and buzz your way out of the song.]
