lyrics

Like A Lake

I woke up and on the wall I saw light
It looked just like a lake
But it scared me
I don't know why
And as I stared
I saw things
And it changed me
But something wasn't right
With the light
Was I still dreaming?

So I got up and I walked over to this lake
And I saw people on the other side
It wasn't hard to tell
They didn't look all that well
So I called out ‘cause I thought I could help
But no one had eyes
So they couldn't see that no one had ears
So they couldn't hear me
Then I felt the earth quake
As a voice from the lake
Spoke these words and it instantly calmed me
‘I hear you call’
Do do do do do do
‘I hear them all’
Do do do do do do

Then it said
‘Life, she is a mystery
And there's more to all of this that she ain't telling me
So tonight it's like a lake
Sit so still and pretty makes your heart ache
But these days don't it all just make yer heart ache’
