THE FROG JUMPS song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

based on the famous 'Frog Haiku' by Basho

the frog jumps in a pond
he makes a single sound
he makes a single sound
goes down and down and down

the frog jumps in a pond
he makes a single plop
he makes a single plop
but it never stops

the frog jumps in a pond
he makes a single jump
but what he really does
leaves all the wise men stumped

the frog jumps in a pond
and dives beneath the water
he won't come back to land
until at last he caught her

the frog jumps in a pond
and becoming one
becoming one with wet
his life has just begun

there is no frog
there is no plop
there is no bottom
and no top

there is no jump
there is no sound
but only earth
around and round

and when your karma
comes at last
and all your future
is the past

the sky itself
becomes the deep
and now's the time
to take the leap.....

A nice leap of faith here. Somehow, you missed the idea that when you kiss the frog, it magically turns into a prince. But then again, who needs more princes.
