There's a crack in the glass where the water gets out 
There's a dusty wind when the heart's in drought 
And the map of the world looks as if true north 
Disappeared entirely 

I can live divided or bent 
Conspire in my own diminishment 
Or believe in the better world I've dreamt 
That grows from inside out 

So today I'll drop stones into the river 
And the current takes them out into forever 
And the truth is most of us will never know 
Where our best intentions go 
And still I'll drop another stone 

So we trust in a dim flashlight 
And always walk into available light 
I'm not a woman inclined to bet 
But it's never failed me yet 

So today I'll drop stones into the river 
And the current takes them out into forever 
And the truth is most of us will never know 
Where our best intentions go 
And still I'll drop another stone 

So today we'll drop stones into the river 
And the current takes them out into forever 
And the truth is most of us will never know 
Where our best intentions go 
And still we'll drop another stone 

The empty self still hears the call 
To live in the center of the ache and awe 
It's there the hope of the whole world shines 
And yes, there still is time 

So today I'll drop stones into the river 
And the current takes them out into forever 
And the truth is most of us will never know 
Where our best intentions go 
And still I'll drop another stone
