Caught In the Middle

I see blue sky above me and blue sky below
Green leaves above me below again I know it is so
White clouds floating above me are floating under me I know
I feel warm sunshine above me, under me its reflection does glow

All here along as I float all alone in my row boat
While the sky and the water try to outshine each other
The image I see above me, I see again below me exactly
I'm caught in the middle of some kind of unsolved riddle

Then the sky starts to rain, below me again it's the same
Wet above and below, what a wonderful show!

It is nice to know there are people like you in the world. I know I could trust you with myself and my heart anytime without question and you would protect it, because I do not judge our friendship on conditions nor do you...
