HANDFUL AT A TIME, by                    
First Line: Let it rush past you
Last Line: More than a handful at a time.


Let it rush past you...
Do you think you can hold
More than a handful at a time?

How far can you see over these prairies?
There is even more to it than that!

Let me tell you about it.
I went through all that...
I thought I could do what you think you can,
But it won't work.
I'm different now.
But I'm different only because I say I am.

All right...Go ahead.
It will rush past you anyway.
Don't think you can hold
More than a handful at a time.
