Ripples

In the ripples on the water, a reflection of my life I see,

without disturbance, so calm I could be.

But notes start crashing in, where silence likes to stand.

And a voice is crying out, strike up the band!

Chorus

And let's go, and make waves on the radio!

Let's sail, where dreams never seem to fail!

And let's try, to give away, the magic in a song......

'cause like the ripples on the water, we only last so long.

In the ripples on the water, I think I see a reflection of you.

It might be a little fuzzy, but the image keeps coming through.

And then the words crash in, where silence used to stand.

And that voice keeps crying out, saying strike up the band!

Chorus

            And the ripples on the water, can show you things that are true.

            It really all depends, on your point of view.

            See how they grow, and then they just disappear,

            And leave what they touched, so calm and clear.

            There's lessons to be learned, from the simple things you see,

            And there's reasons to be quiet, and listen to eternity,

            But then let the music crash in, where silence used to stand,

            and hear the voice that cries out, and says strike up the band!

Chorus
