|
There's a crack in the glass where the water gets out |
|
There's a dusty wind when the heart's in drought |
|
And the map of the world looks as if true north |
|
Disappeared entirely |
|
I can live divided or bent |
|
Conspire in my own diminishment |
|
Or believe in the better world |
|
I've dreamt |
|
That grows from inside out |
|
So today I'll drop stones into the river |
|
And the current takes them out into forever |
|
And the truth is most of us will never know |
|
Where our best intentions go |
|
And still |
|
I'll drop another stone |
|
So we trust in a dim flashlight |
|
And always walk into available light |
|
I'm not a woman inclined to bet |
|
But it's never failed me yet |
|
So today I'll drop stones into the river |
|
And the current takes them out into forever |
|
And the truth is most of us will never know |
|
Where our best intentions go |
|
And still |
|
I'll drop another stone |
|
So today we'll drop stones into the river |
|
And the current takes them out into forever |
|
And the truth is most of us will never know |
|
Where our best intentions go |
|
And still we'll drop another stone |
|
The empty self still hears a call |
|
To live in the center of the ache and awe |
|
It's there the hope of the whole world shines |
|
And yes, there still is time |
|
So today I'll drop stones into the river |
|
And the current takes them out into forever |
|
And the truth is most of us will never know |
|
Where our best intentions go |
|
And still |
|
I'll drop another stone |
