“Ripples in the Stream”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Intro]
Am | C | G | D
[Verse 1]
Am C G
Life is but a dream, we’re ripples in the stream,
D Am
Dancing with the moonlight, everything’s serene.
C G
Days go by like whispers, even in our sleep,
D Am
Moments woven into the fabric, memories we keep.
[Chorus]
C G Am
We’re just ripples in the stream,
C G D
Floating on a sunbeam, carried by a dream.
Am C G D
Good-natured circle, spinning around, love is the sound,
Am C G D
We’re just ripples in the stream, let’s keep this love aground.
[Verse 2]
Am C G
Friendship is the tether, the anchor in our sea,
D Am
With laughter as our compass, we sail in harmony.
C G
We dance with the shadows, sing with the dawn,
D Am
The melody of our unity, the beat goes on.
[Chorus]
C G Am
We’re just ripples in the stream,
C G D
Floating on a sunbeam, carried by a dream.
Am C G D
Good-natured circle, spinning around, love is the sound,
Am C G D
We’re just ripples in the stream, let’s keep this love aground.
