Heaven's Daughter

Sometimes I feel like water
rushing, rushing, rushing
Dreaming dreams of rising to the sky.
I must be someone's daughter
Earth, water, sky or wind
I look up to the sun and question why.

Onward, downward, propelled along
going, going, going
Yet where I go right now I do not know.
Part of one maddening song
It always fills my ears
It enters in my heart when I go slow.

I've heard that water changes
flowing, flowing, flowing
And that someday it's taken to the clouds.
Defying gravity's ranges
Finally up instead of down
To a new horizontal sort of crowd.

So if I feel like water
moving, moving, moving
In rivers, streams, or oceans or so wide.
Though a drop, I'm heaven's daughter
Peace like a river I'll seek
Till past the clouds and raindrops I'll abide.
