Echoes of the Lotus Pond

[Verse] The moon hangs low A silver thread Rippling quiet on the lotus bed A bamboo shadow sways and leans Whispers lost to the rice-field green I hear my grandmother’s song— It lingers It lingers All night long [Chorus] Oh Echoes of the lotus pond Where the wind hums soft and the days grow long The earth My home The sky My bond Oh Echoes of the lotus pond [Verse 2] A heron lifts where the river bends Time drifts slow Like an old friend The zither hums The flute replies Stories weave beneath these skies Barefoot paths The soil still warm Through every storm Through every storm [Chorus] Oh Echoes of the lotus pond Where the wind hums soft and the days grow long The earth My home The sky My bond Oh Echoes of the lotus pond [Bridge] Lanterns float where waters meet Carrying prayers Carrying heat A monochord calls One single string Binding the past to everything [Chorus] Oh Echoes of the lotus pond Where the wind hums soft and the days grow long The earth My home The sky My bond Oh Echoes of the lotus pond
