If you place a jewel inside of a box
That box becomes a keeper of the light
But drop the peels and let the trash in
And it's a bin within a single night
We are the sum of everything we let inside
Oh
Have you seen a crystal lake stay clear
With daily waste, the beauty starts to hide
With daily waste, the beauty starts to hide
Nature teaches what we need to hear
What enters in transforms the soul
A stone inside the river changes how it flows
A single seed can shift the landscape whole
And what you let in is the life that grows
It changes everything, it shifts the ground
The words, the gestures, and the silence found
Choose the words to lift you from the gray
And push the ones that suck the life away
Push the ones that suck the life away
The most fertile garden turns to weed
If you don't pick the harvest that you plant
It's not about the walls or boundaries you need
It's caring for the blossoms that you want
You want the dirt that others try to throw?
Oh
You are what you choose to welcome and to keep
Be like the lake where crystal water shows
Be like the lake where crystal water shows
And never let the bitterness grow deep
What enters in transforms the soul
A stone inside the river changes how it flows
A single seed can shift the landscape whole
And what you let in is the life that grows
It changes everything, it shifts the ground
The words, the gestures, and the silence found
Choose the ones to lift you from the gray
And push the ones that suck the life away
And push the ones that suck the life away
Be a lake, don't let the mud take hold
Protect your space like earth protects the seed
Not everyone is worth their weight in gold
Not everyone deserves the life you lead
Protect your roots, protect your space
Be the lake with crystal face
You decide who gets to stay
Wash the toxic noise away
They need to merit every bit
Of the light inside of it
