Take Us to the Water Lyrics

Take Us to the Water - Kerry Livgren/AD

Written by: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

 

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 through the door

 

Lead us to the water

 

And wash away the fear

 

Take us to the water

 

And get us outta here oooho

 

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

 

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The riches withdrawn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 oh hey

 

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

 

Forever on

 

Forever

 

Forever

 

 

Forever on
