Name: In The Beginning / The Lake
Duration: P00H04M15S
Description: This song is a multi-part ballad about the importance of water. We tend to take clean and accessible water for granted in North America. This luxury however is not the case for the majority of the world. And it's a problem that will only increase unless we start to value this resource more than the interests of corporations and industry.

lyrics

In the beginning there was water
Falling on the ground so cold
And my lake was a puddle
Unaware of what would unfold

When I was younger I used to walk on your shore
Look across the water
Wonder what it was before
Now the years have caught up
All they do is build around
Never even thought of
What might have been yours
Then in a dream I thought I heard you say

I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you

I couldn't help but think of our daughters and sons
It's come across the water
All of it can be undone
Now the years have caught up
All they do is build around
Never even thought of
What might have been yours
Then in a dream I thought I heard you say

I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you

Say my name
I can't remember it anyways
Used to be so insignificant
That was before the rain
Now I need you to
Say my name
I can't remember it anyways
Used to be so insignificant
That was before the rain
Now I need you to stay
