There's a lake out there
The water's calm
As one looks out
He can see no harm
Upon its surface
There's a small boat
And all around
Some swans do float
The water's like
A sheet of glass
Just how long
Will this serenity last
One bends down
Picks up a stone
Without a thought
It is then thrown
As it strikes
Those waters deep
The ripples outwards
Begin to creep
That very stone
Is like a wedge
Causing outward ripples
To water's edge
One small stone
Did suddenly cease
That calm water
Which looked at peace
It only takes
One with wrong mind
To shatter peace
For all mankind
No matter what
You say or do
Don't be like that stone
That someone threw
Instead be like that lake
That looked so calm
'Til that stone was thrown
With that throw brought harm
For winds will cause
Those ripples to flow
But we can weather
Those storms we know
It's when someone
Becomes that stone
That we no longer
Stand all alone
Remove that stone
From waters deep
So once again
Our peace we'll keep
