Cool Waters

One breath to speak a word
Two ears so we can hear it
One man to change the world
One heart so we can feel it
We are not permanent
This world is transient
Though hope is everlasting--
In these cool waters

If I am strong I can
I can shed these feelings
If I am smart I can
I can raise the ceiling.
In times of confidence
Your smile is so appealing
But when I'm down I miss
These cool waters

If I had fallen down
If I was sullied crying
Would you be there for me,
Though I be dead and dying?
I have no certainty
If what I say are lies though,
I am truthful in--
These cool waters.

I am whole
I am hopeful
I am strong
In these cool waters

Hold on to love she said
Hold on to what that smile means
Hold on to innocence
Despite the pain your feeling
You are not decadent
You are not the earth you live in
You are pure and whole--
In these cool waters.
