Water & Rock

Lyrics for Water & Rock

There’s a time for being smart and time for being simple
You can be too kind, or too clever or too careful

Wisdom can be yielding, and wisdom can be firm
And there are times when not-knowing is the only way to learn

Many strengths can be a weakness, on a different day
And a weakness can be strength, when it’s seen a different way

There is a time, to be like water
There is a place, to be like rock

There is a line, that runs between them
Where the free
Must learn to walk

The cookies that we’ve eaten are the cookies that we toss
Every single kind of winning comes at some kind of loss

Everything that happens, happens with a cause
The universe is loving but it does have its laws

Cute little kittens can have sharp little claws
If you want somebody's genius you better watch out
for their flaws

There is a time, to be like water
There is a place, to be like rock

There is a line, that runs between them
Where the free
Must learn to walk

Secrecy and lies are almost guaranteed to suck
But sometimes to be honest ... it’s just better not to talk

It’s hard to say what’s sacred, and even harder what’s not
It could be dirty laundry, or your saviour's holy socks

There are days for what is timeless,
and times to beat the clock
But for everything we are
there's another thing we're not

There is a time, to be like water
There is a place, to be like rock

There is a line, that runs between them
Where the free
Must learn to walk

Crazy seeming people, are easy to find
Cause a lot of what we see actually happens
in our mind

It takes time to realize that it takes all kinds
But it doesn't mean it doesn't matter
and just anything's just fine

Living life in ignorance hasn't felt like bliss
But the weight of life experience can be hard to lift

There is a time, to be like water
There is a place, to be like rock

There is a line, that runs between them
Where the free
Must learn to walk
