CHORUS:
Come on down to the water, come on down to the well,
And if it flows like a river, raise your hands, ring the bell.
There is peace in the water. There is more to go around.
You are through running backward.
Bring the soul. Bring the sound.

V1.
I have courted my failures. I have wandered in the rough.
I have given completely, and wondered if that was enough.
I have cried with my face down, and my tears have soaked the floor.
I have burned past my edges, and resolved to burn some more.

And I said oh...
____________

CHORUS.
____________

V2.
May your heart be your courage. May your hope be your cause.
If you cry in the daytime, use the night to dream it off.
It might take us a moment. It might take us our lives.
We might see it in our children, we might see it here tonight.

And I said Lord...
____________

CHORUS.

BRIDGE.
Take me down. Come on down.
Take me down. Come on down.

CHORUS.
