There's a lake that won't surrender
And a light that won't give in
Trees bend down with gentle gestures
As if asking for silence
The morning can't stay quiet
It scratches the skin of water
Some of it mirrors the world
Some of it tears it apart
A boat that barely exists
A shadow that breathes alone
Time doesn't seem to know it
And the water won't respond
But the light...
The light persists
With every wrinkle it finds
It shines a little harder
The light persists
The light persists
Even when no one calls it
Even when no one sees
