A lake is an area of variable size filled with water, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean (except for sea lochs in Scotland and Ireland), and therefore are distinct from lagoons, and are also larger and deeper than ponds, though there are no official or scientific definitions. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which are usually flowing. However most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams.
Natural lakes are generally found in mountainous areas, rift zones, and areas with ongoing glaciation. Other lakes are found in endorheic basins or along the courses of mature rivers. In some parts of the world there are many lakes because of chaotic drainage patterns left over from the last Ice Age. All lakes are temporary over geologic time scales, as they will slowly fill in with sediments or spill out of the basin containing them.
Many lakes are artificial and are constructed for industrial or agricultural use, for hydro-electric power generation or domestic water supply, or for aesthetic or recreational purposes.

The waterfall of life
Above the sands of time
I love you like a mountain
Above the countryside
The ocean breeze it blows your hair
so free
The sky is making changes
Reflections to the sea
Whoa oh oh
No no no no no no
No no no
Do I love you much too much
Do I live without you touch
Is it right to feel
The way I feel about you
Do I mean so much to you
Do you feel the same way too
So I ask myself again, over and over
Do I love you, love you, love you
Do I love you, love you, love you
The day is clouding over
Rain is falling free
I love you like a river
That flows out to the sea
The moonlight shines so silver,
Falling on you face
The stars are changing color
For love is in the air
Whoa oh oh
No no no no no no
No no no
Do I love you much too much
Can I live without your touch
Is it right to feel
The way I feel about you
Do I mean so much to you
Do you feel the same way too
So I ask myself again, over and over
Do I love you, love you, love you
Do I love you, love you, love you
Do I love you much too much
Can I live without your touch
Is it right to feel
The way I feel about you
Do I mean so much to you
Do you feel the same way too
