Keep the Water Clear - Symphony Orchestra lyrics

If you place a jewel inside of a box That box becomes a keeper of the light But drop the peels and let the trash in And it's a bin within a single night We are the sum of everything we let inside Oh Have you seen a crystal lake stay clear With daily waste, the beauty starts to hide With daily waste, the beauty starts to hide Nature teaches what we need to hear What enters in transforms the soul A stone inside the river changes how it flows A single seed can shift the landscape whole And what you let in is the life that grows It changes everything, it shifts the ground The words, the gestures, and the silence found Choose the words to lift you from the gray And push the ones that suck the life away Push the ones that suck the life away The most fertile garden turns to weed If you don't pick the harvest that you plant It's not about the walls or boundaries you need It's caring for the blossoms that you want You want the dirt that others try to throw? Oh You are what you choose to welcome and to keep Be like the lake where crystal water shows Be like the lake where crystal water shows And never let the bitterness grow deep What enters in transforms the soul A stone inside the river changes how it flows A single seed can shift the landscape whole And what you let in is the life that grows It changes everything, it shifts the ground The words, the gestures, and the silence found Choose the ones to lift you from the gray And push the ones that suck the life away And push the ones that suck the life away Be a lake, don't let the mud take hold Protect your space like earth protects the seed Not everyone is worth their weight in gold Not everyone deserves the life you lead Protect your roots, protect your space Be the lake with crystal face You decide who gets to stay Wash the toxic noise away They need to merit every bit Of the light inside of it
