lyrics

Calm the Water
(Rio Electronico)

Rio, i can’t slow down the world,
but i can build a little one for you.
I can tell a thousand tales
but i can’t tell the people
what to do.

Rio, there’s a storm outside tonight,
a real hurricane like in the song.
we stay calm in our nest,
there will be sun again
it won’t take long.

Rio, i can’t calm the waters yet.
I’m trying my best to learn it girl.
But i can make a song for you instead,
and turn a random stone
into a pearl.

Rio, i can’t handle it myself.
Will you take me by your tiny hand?
Will you tell me through your eyes?
Let’s build a kingdom
made of sand.
