When I am caught between a rock and a hard place ~

Let me be water.

When the path ahead is blocked ~

Let me be water.

When pressure builds from every side ~

Let me be water.

When fear hardens my heart ~

Let me be water.

When I am demanded to break or to run ~

Let me be water.

When I cannot see a way through ~

Let me be water.

Until at last, even the oldest stone in me remembers ~

water always finds a way.

Let me be water.

Let me be water.

Let me be water.
