There's a crack in the glass where the water gets out

There's a dusty wind when the heart's in drought

And the map of the world looks as if true north

Disappeared entirely

I can live divided or bent

Conspire in my own diminishment

Or believe in the better world I've dreamt

That grows from inside out

So today I'll drop stones into the river

And the current takes them out into forever

And the truth is most of us will never know

Where our best intentions go

And still I'll drop another stone

So we trust in a dim flashlight

And always walk into available light

I'm not a woman inclined to bet

But it's never failed me yet

So today I'll drop stones into the river

And the current takes them out into forever

And the truth is most of us will never know

Where our best intentions go

And still I'll drop another stone

So today we'll drop stones into the river

And the current takes them out into forever

And the truth is most of us will never know

Where our best intentions go

And still we'll drop another stone

The empty self still hears a call

To live in the center of the ache and awe

It's there the hope of the whole world shines

And yes, there still is time

So today I'll drop stones into the river

And the current takes them out into forever

And the truth is most of us will never know

Where our best intentions go

And still I'll drop another stone
