What takes it to make another happy?
No, its nothing complicated or convoluted
Its but simple things that make life worthwhile
If only the river of mercy were not polluted

Where waters once flowed sweet as honey
And with the milk of kindness did it run
Alas the sweetness has now bitter turned
The kindness scorched by a worldly sun

It's not the sun that brightens the sky
But the one that inside flames
So many factors do make it burn
And the river stagnant remains

Still in the skeptical eye sometimes
Where lies dammed the flow
It takes but warmth to release the tide
And the river starts to pour
