How far does a ripple reach? Over the water, the edge of the pond Up the tree trunk and into every dimension... Nothing is secret Until it reaches my heart's lake And my mind realizes impermanence. That is how far your love touches me-- All over my body we're singing your song Me and all my cells, And all their organelles. We push and we pull god in different directions We freeze and we thaw with the winter's spring But when your waves touch me that certain way, I'm inclined to call it love.

Ripple
How far does a ripple reach? Over the water, the edge of the pond Up the tree trunk and into every dimension... Nothing is secret Until it reaches my heart's lake And my mind realizes impermanence. That is how far your love touches me-- All over my body we're singing your song Me and all my cells, And all their organelles. We push and we pull god in different directions We freeze and we thaw with the winter's spring But when your waves touch me that certain way, I'm inclined to call it love.
