Take Us To The Water - Kerry Livgren

It’s burnt in my memory, the face of the crowd

Lost in the desert, they were cryin' out loud

Some voices were cursing, some singing in praise

It’s one or the other when the curtain is raised

Lead us to the water, and wash away the fear

Take us to the water that will never disappear

(And get us outta here)

Out in the streets, there’s risin' a cry

This isn’t livin' but we don’t wanna die

Politics and heretics, we’ve heard it all before

No phony religion, just get us out thru the door

Lead us to the water, and wash away the fear

Take us to the water that will never disappear

(And get us outta here)

I’ll give you fountains that never run dry

Like eagles you will fly

No tear in anyone’s eye

And the glory won’t fade forever, forever on

The treasury’s empty, the riches withdrawn

The people are hungry and the food is all gone

The media garbage keeps pumpin' out lies

The weight is oppressive as the spectres arise

Lead us to the water, and wash away the fear

Take us to the water that will never disappear

(And get us outta here)
