Overtones
Sitting by a forest stream
He could hear the waterfall
Reflecting on his changing mind
Underneath the forest tall
"The Torah is an endless sea
I've never had a chance to sail
I'm stranded here upon its shores
Forty years and now I'm asking
How could I even try
To delve into a world that
I could never have a single hope of unraveling
My heart is like a ball of stone
Unyielding to these overtones
And I don't know upon which road I am traveling"
The water softly trickled down
How gracefully it seemed to glide
And in the hollow of his heart
He dwelled upon his new-found bride
She'd said "I can now plainly see
That you are bigger than your size
And greatness is within your reach
Go and gather what you're lacking"
But how could I even try
To delve into a world that
I could never have a single hope of unraveling
My heart is like a ball of stone
Unyielding to these overtones
And I don't know upon which road I am traveling
The shepherd's eyes were drawn
To the water that flowed
Through a hole that had worn
Through a stone
After years of relentlessly falling
The water had cut through the stone
And the shepherd thought
"If something
Of softness and time
Could eventually penetrate through
then the truth will eventually too
Sitting by a forest stream
He could see the waterfall
Reflecting on his changing mind
Underneath the forest tall
He could hear the waterfall
Reflecting on his changing mind
Underneath the forest tall
"The Torah is an endless sea
I've never had a chance to sail
I'm stranded here upon its shores
Forty years and now I'm asking
How could I even try
To delve into a world that
I could never have a single hope of unraveling
My heart is like a ball of stone
Unyielding to these overtones
And I don't know upon which road I am traveling"
The water softly trickled down
How gracefully it seemed to glide
And in the hollow of his heart
He dwelled upon his new-found bride
She'd said "I can now plainly see
That you are bigger than your size
And greatness is within your reach
Go and gather what you're lacking"
But how could I even try
To delve into a world that
I could never have a single hope of unraveling
My heart is like a ball of stone
Unyielding to these overtones
And I don't know upon which road I am traveling
The shepherd's eyes were drawn
To the water that flowed
Through a hole that had worn
Through a stone
After years of relentlessly falling
The water had cut through the stone
And the shepherd thought
"If something
Of softness and time
Could eventually penetrate through
then the truth will eventually too
Sitting by a forest stream
He could see the waterfall
Reflecting on his changing mind
Underneath the forest tall
