lyrics

I want a waterfall
but I need the lake
stillness taking charge
of this chaos that I make
tranquility’s a haven
no one could ever take

I want a waterfall
but I need the lake

I want a waterfall
but I need the lake
beauty that is genuine
joy that isn’t fake
gazing on its majesty
I could come awake
I want a waterfall
but I need the lake

I want a waterfall
dripping with surprise
cascading for me always
before my very eyes
but all of this exquisiteness
can never compensate

I want a waterfall
but I need the lake
fleeting is the fantasy
that intoxicates
for some serenity
all I would forsake
I want a waterfall
but I need the lake

I want a waterfall
where nothing is denied
ecstasy in everything
always gratified
but it leaves me
with such emptiness
that I just can’t shake
I want a waterfall
but I need the lake
