The willow bends but never breaks
A single crane glides on the lake
Lanterns floating
Soft they glow
Whispered secrets the winds bestow
Moonlit river
Take me home
Through the valleys where dreams roam
Every ripple sings my name
Moonlit river
Never the same
Mountains carved by ancient hands
Silent stories of the land
Jade leaves shimmer in the mist
A fleeting world I can’t resist
Time’s a shadow on the wall
Leaves may dance but always fall
Yet the river
Calm and wide
Carries me where I confide
Moonlit river
Take me home
Through the valleys where dreams roam
Every ripple sings my name
Moonlit river
Never the same
