I'm a crystal vase on
my grandmother's piano
The light shines through me,
but I am not the light
I am lit up and shining,
but I am not the light.
The rainbow slides through me,
but I am not the rainbow.
The flowers sit in me,
but I am not the flowers.
The water sits in me,
but I am not the water.
The piano notes plink off me,
but I am not the music.
The reflections of love dance over me,
but I am not love.
The light shines through me,
but I am not the light.

I am just a crystal vase on my grandmother's piano.
