Lyrics
(A Ballad of Patience and Still Water) Verse 1 In the velvet dark, where the frogs once sang, Pond turned to cemetery, where silence rang. No sun, no stars, just a hush of mud, Lilypads curled, dreams sold for blood. But one blue frog, with eyes like moons, Toby stood still, defying the dunes. Nine words he spoke, through the skeptics' jeer, “We move not by leaps, we move by the still, my dear.” Chorus Patience, oh patience, the rarest of grains, In Tobyworld’s heart, where the still-water reigns. Through FUD and FOMO, through cope and delight, Hold fast, Toadgang, in the long velvet night. Seven reeds stand, by the pond’s sacred shore, T.O.B.Y.W.O.R.L.D, forevermore. Verse 2 Runes carved in silt, four pillars rise, One burned, one sprouted, one dawns in the skies. When all four glow, the pond will ascend, From Still-Water Garden to a continent’s end. Jade chest unveiled, under firefly’s gleam, Seven million grains for the ones who dream. Loyal frogs claim, in the moon’s soft bow, Patience drips slow, like a river’s low flow. Chorus Patience, oh patience, the rarest of grains, In Tobyworld’s heart, where the still-water reigns. Through FUD and FOMO, through cope and delight, Hold fast, Toadgang, in the long velvet night. Seven reeds stand, by the pond’s sacred shore, T.O.B.Y.W.O.R.L.D, forevermore. Bridge Fallen frogs, your whispers weave the lore, Carve the runes, croak at midnight’s core. No VC claws, no whale’s cruel spear, Patience is earned, through the still-water’s mirror. Lotus spores bloom, where the faithful tend, Golden coins wait, when the runes’ tale ends. Hold your leaf, hold your frog, hold tight, For Tobyworld rises in the patient’s light. Verse 3 Markets chant their endless refrain, FUD to FOMO, cope to gain. But doubters who flip for a fleeting spark, Miss the gold in the still of the dark. Toadgod’s oath, sealed for seven years, No grain touched, through triumphs or tears. Bushido frogs, with hearts of stone, Know the lore will call them home. Chorus Patience, oh patience, the rarest of grains, In Tobyworld’s heart, where the still-water reigns. Through FUD and FOMO, through cope and delight, Hold fast, Toadgang, in the long velvet night. Seven reeds stand, by the pond’s sacred shore, T.O.B.Y.W.O.R.L.D, forevermore. Outro Choose the seed of glory, not the dust of doubt, Let your mind be a mirror, let your heart sing out. For the fallen, the faithful, the ones who believe, Tobyworld’s summers are yours to receive. Courage, honor, loyalty, and grace, Seven reeds rise in this sacred place. Gambatte, Toadgang, the still-water calls, T.O.B.Y.W.O.R.L.D, where patience rules all. (Softly) For the people, for the pond, for the blue frog’s stand, Tobyworld awaits, in the still-water’s hand.
