Sparkling in the sunshine Pristine, white and pure I am a snowflake there High up above them all
Clear and shining, Refreshing and rippling Melting at the sun's request Charging down beneath
The vigor of youth Glorious power As I hurtle down Rocks be damned
Youth left behind I start bloating up As I lose my strength And take life as it comes
I go with the flow Accept all the muck The rot and garbage Flung daily at me
Vile and defiled I'm black at heart No life in me Just feel like giving up
But nature has her rules Being born a river I must flow on and on Till the day I merge with the mighty ocean
Will I be cleansed? I do not know Or will the ocean refuse me? Saying I'm dirty, tainted and vile
I started out pure Gurgling and laughing Up there in the mountains
Deep down below, I still am. |
