Water and Wood

 Hi guys!  Here is a song I wrote.


(at first the song is gentle, peaceful, and calm)

Are you wood or are you water?
Are you free or are you blocked?
Are you wood or are you water?

(pause)

Even an iron grate can't keep water in,
It always gets out, by flowing between the cracks.
But wood, well it flows a little less,
Gets stuck between the cracks,
And it won't go on.

(chorus: loud and upbeat)

Will you sing your heart out?
Will you dance like crazy?
Will you make your own tunes,
Or just sing along?
Will you flip your hair back?
Will you raise your arms up?
Will you make a difference?
Or just sit in the shadows?

(back to gentler, calmer tune)

Are you wood or are you water?
Are you free or are you blocked?
Are you wood or are you water?

(almost a chant, gets louder and louder)

Are you flowing?
Are you free?
Are you flowing?
Are you free?
Are you flowing?
Are you free?
Are you FREE!

( chorus again so loud and upbeat)

Will you sing your heart out?
Will you dance like crazy?
Will you make your own tunes,
Or just sing along?
Will you flip your hair back?
Will you raise your arms up?
Will you make a difference?
Or just sit in the shadows?

(back to gentle tune)

Everybody makes mistakes,
Even the best of us,
But,
Not everyone counts them as failures.

'Cause are you wood or are you water?
Are you wood or are you water?
Are you wood or are you water?
