Drink The Water
Lyrics by Paul Kamm
I recall when the first bird flew
Ragged circles in the sky
No one was certain how this whole thing worked
I guess we didn’t need to try
The night time freed all these precious things
No hands too hard to mingle with the flame
There was no poet there to write down everything
I still get that lost, sometimes everyday
It’s still turning
I’m still turning
Drink the water….to keep from drowning
So with that bird I went flying all around
And I saw angels works of art
I found myself screaming out
I wish that I knew your heart
It’s all around you he said, everywhere you go
You can see it from your feet, not just from my back
But I wouldn’t listen then until he let me go
I could feel the flood coming closer everyday
And as he flew
I thought I heard him say
Drink the water…..to keep from drowning
And then one day I found wings of my own
Like they’d been right here all my life
I don’t know how this whole thing works
I guess that I don’t need to try
Only love can free all these precious things
No hands too hard to lend a while
Every heart is just an angel’s work of art
That still gets lost, sometimes everyday
But It’s still turning
We’re still turning
Drink the water….to keep from drowning
