[Verse 1] By the riverbank, the water flows fast The master paused as the shadows were cast A tiny creature in the current's might Struggling alone in a desperate fight [Verse 2] He reached out his hand to pull it away But the sting struck deep in the light of day The poison burned, the pain was so real But the master’s heart was determined to heal [Verse 3] A stranger cried out: "Why do you try? To save the one who wants you to die?" The monk looked up with a calm so deep And shared the secret he chose to keep [Pre-Chorus] His instinct is only to strike and to sting My destiny is the mercy I bring The soul doesn't change for a bitter blow [Chorus] It’s his nature to sting and to fight It’s my nature to bring the light The river takes what the current may send But I’ll be kindness until the end [Bridge] Don't let the world take your light away Each heart has a price it’s willing to pay If he is the thorn, I’ll be the grace In this eternal and sacred space [Pre-Chorus] His instinct is only to strike and to sting My destiny is the mercy I bring The soul doesn't change for a bitter blow [Chorus] It’s his nature to sting and to fight It’s my nature to bring the light The river takes what the current may send But I’ll be kindness until the end
