The water once flowed
That once swift, steady current
With no time to grow

Until it was spent
Waiting for the rain to fall
But you did cement

Those rocks up so tall
And now the water is trapped
Goes nowhere at all

But you left no scrap
Of room for it to escape
From your little trap

Won't evaporate
This special type of water
Now it is too late

The cracks grow larger
The dam will soon burst open
You should run harder

This race you won't win
The flow will crush you, fill you
Flooded from within

Just one path left true
You can smash the dam yourself
Let it cover you

Because if you really fear that flood
There is only one way to stop it
You must rely on the sun
Evaporate all of that

Chase away the rain clouds
Don't let them feed the river
Don't let rain hit the ground
Then it can't get bigger

The sun will dry it away
The river's flow will ebb
This is a brand new day
The current is dead

Don't hold back what is inside. If you never want to cry fight it at the source, use happiness to fight sadness and don't let it in.
