Ripple
Nick Edelstein
So you squeeze a little harder
As hard as you can
And pray it’s enough to get through the day
Body is aching
But you dare not let go
When you love a dream, do whatever it takes
Go make your ripple
In the waters of time
Find your sweat tastes bittersweet
Those scars will vanish
In the smiles of children
And you’ll feel the ripples collide
Stop fishing for a lover
And chisel your niche
And you’ll find the fish are finding you
Say something peculiar
Or speak nothing at all;
That’s always been my finesse
And when life brings you to words
For which books have no meaning
Search your heart –
‘cause that’s where our ripples collide
Oh, that’s where our ripples collide
