Song lyrics
Where is that shining droplet racing?
A mountain stream curls down the slope
It slips past sand and rounded pebbles
And reaches one high rocky ledge
Gravity pulls it off the edge
Hard rock rests on a softer layer
The softer layer wears away faster
A river falls from a rocky ledge
Waterfall, a bright white curtain
Flowing water slowly carves the rock
Little by little, it shapes the edge
At its foot, the foaming water swirls
It carries sand and little pebbles
The swirling mix scrapes soft rock loose
That slow wear and breaking is erosion
A hollow grows beneath the hard shelf
A river falls from a rocky ledge
Waterfall, a bright white curtain
Flowing water slowly carves the rock
Little by little, it shapes the edge
After many years, the shelf overhangs
Then a block of rock breaks away
The waterfall edge shifts upstream
A river falls from a rocky ledge
Waterfall, a bright white curtain
Flowing water slowly carves the rock
Little by little, it shapes the edge
Below, the river carves a rocky gorge
The waterfall roars at its new edge
