Lyrics

The Waterfall

She was sitting alone with her feet on sunken stones
Far away from eyes upon while she bathed to be no one
Just a ripple found

Hair was flowing like gold, dipping in the water cold
Wash away dust of memories, finding peace in new family
That rinsed away the past

And to see the waterfall, flowing from the Earth
The cliffs worn up above leaning down to her

Unaware a time would come, Capture and battle of a living one, The water rushed, she remembered, Her cries for love
6+ to defend her, emerging soul to win

Sundrops danced all around, hidden treasure the river found, one day she'd be reminded of her strength and where to find it, the current feeds her now

Instr.

And we see the waterfall trickle from the Earth
The cliffs born out of love leaning down to her
