[Verse 1] Stand strong as the oak Roots deep in the dark Bark scarred from old storms Still you guard your spark Fight fierce as the lion Jaw locked on the day Golden eyes on the trouble Nothing blocks your way [Chorus] But beware the shapeless water Soft voice Steady flow It carves through stone in silence Takes what you think you know It forms the river under you Till the ground gives way You will see It will erode the base beneath And topple the proud oak tree [Verse 2] Fight fierce as the lion Claws bright in the sun You roar at the thunder You swear you won’t run But it’s not teeth that take you It’s that rising Endless rain When the calm turns to current You don’t see the hidden drain [Chorus] But beware the shapeless water Soft voice Steady flow It carves through stone in silence Takes what you think you know It forms the river under you Till the ground gives way a little more It will erode the base beneath And drown the proud lion's roar [Bridge] Stand strong as the oak Yeah But watch what moves your feet Fight fierce as the lion But learn when to retreat Guard the cracks and the quiet Where the small drops fall unseen ‘Cause the flood doesn’t shout first It just waits where you’ve been weak [Chorus] But beware the shapeless water Soft voice Steady flow It carves through stone in silence Takes what you think you know It forms the river under you Till the ground gives way You will see It will erode the base beneath And topple the proud oak tree
