Look at this trove, treasures untold
The artist is highlighting her collection once again justifying her material wealth

How many wonders can one cavern hold?

Looking around here you'd think
By simply observing the objects around her, it becomes apparent that she has everything she could possibly want.

Up where they walk, up where they run

Up where they stay all day in the sun

Betcha' on land they understand

Ask 'em my questions

And get some answers
The artist is ready to gain knowledge and insights that come from interacting with humans.

What's a fire, and why does it?

When's it my turn?

Wish I could be
