I yearn to be a river
Will my woes be washed away?
Should I yearn to be like rain?
Letting go of all this heavyweight?

Why is it that I can't bring myself to cry today?

I yearn to be the ocean
Maybe then I can hide my emotions?
Should I be like the waterfalls?
Pouring my love without regrets and all?

Why is it that I can't bring myself to cry today?

I yearn to be a pond
A body of water, still and all
Where all creatures gather in awe
Admiring my beauty as the seasons come

Why is it that I can't bring myself to cry today?
