[Verse 1]
If I could only return to the water's embrace
Wouldn't the world be a lovelier place?
Dear Mother, would you be able to forgive?
As the dancing water flows, so too we would live
The city it would nourish
And you too, my dear, would flourish
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
But love alone could be to no avail
Only farewell, I fear, would prevail
Thus are our lives filled with joy and sorrow
I'll be here always, forever and tomorrow
To behold the world's undying beauty
And that shall live on in perpetuity...
