Life just moves like a stream
But yours is slowed down
Now a pond full of bloom
And the dirt won’t flow now
So the mud mixes in
And the creek’s forgotten
Until one day the dam
Is weak and rotten

When that water was still
Helpless as it was filled
With all the filth that had been
Falling from the trees

Then it finally escaped
And with that water awake
It’s moving forward
And it’s perfect and it’s clean

Giving up with nothing else to try
Thinking that the pond will maybe dry up
And I’ll be free to move along
Join the clouds or rise into the fog

Falling rain arrived to meet me
And so the dam was slowly weakening
Out we flowed with my whole life ahead
How it feels to be alive again
How it feels to be alive again
How it feels to be alive again
Mourn the years that it took
But the dam’s collapsing
So the pond’s now a brook
And alive in laughter

Now the water’s awake
And it’s gliding forward
Rivers running from lakes
And their silent torture

When that water was still
Helpless as it was filled
With all the filth that had been
Falling from the trees

Then it finally escaped
And with that water awake
It’s moving forward
And it’s perfect and it’s clean

Giving up with nothing else to try
Thinking that the pond will maybe dry up
And I’ll be free to move along
Join the clouds or rise into the fog

Falling rain arrived to meet me
And so the dam was slowly weakening
Out we flowed with my whole life ahead
How it feels to be alive again
How it feels to be alive again
How it feels to be alive again
How it feels to be alive again
How it feels to be alive again

Such small things
Are gifts from angels
Stones and twigs
Are miracles
All was gone
I thought forever
Now returned
I’m home from hell

Giving up with nothing else to try
(Such small things)
Thinking that the pond will maybe dry up
(Are gifts from angels)
And I’ll be free to move along
(Stones and twigs)
Join the clouds or rise into the fog
(Are miracles)

Falling rain arrived to meet me
(All was gone)
And so the dam was slowly weakening
(I thought forever)
Out we flowed with my whole life ahead
(Now returned)
How it feels to be alive again
