[Verse 1: Danielle Short]
The phenomenon of moon in the water is likened to human experience
The water is the subject, and the moon the object
When there is no water, there is no moon in the water
And likewise when there is no moon
But when the moon rises
The water does not wait to receive it's image
And when even the tiniest drop of water is poured out
The moon does not wait to cast its reflection

[Refrain: Danielle Short]
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain: Danielle Short]
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection
Does not wait to cast it's reflection

[Verse 2: Danielle Short]
The past is already past
The future is not yet here
Things are constantly changing

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Danielle Short]
For the moon does not intend to cast its reflection
And the water does not receive its image on purpose
The event is caused as much by the water as by the moon
And as the water manifests the brightness of the moon
The moon manisfests the clarity of the water
