Down on the corner of the dead end street Too many tears and not a drop of relief It'll shake up your soul it'll tear down your pride Honey keep your eyes pure let us tell no lies Hatred is a criminal out on the loose
Love might be a judge with a hangman's noose It'll make you strong it'll make you bitter I got to find myself a strong deliverer I need a drink of something like water I need a taste of love divine
Sometimes you just gotta do what you oughta Sometimes you bring up the water when the well is dry
Gone out walking through the city tonight Sittin' through the wreckage underneath the lights All you can do is pray with all your might There's a few thousand souls no where in sight It's hard to swing at something you can't see
Sometimes we just don't know the enemy Can't live by fear can't live by deception Hey I'm a man of peace with a few exceptions I need a drink of something like water I need a taste of love divine
Sometimes you just gotta do what you oughta Sometimes you bring up the water when the well is dry When the world starts shaking
And the walls are breaking down till nothing's left Baby you're gonna need to hold onto something that is Stronger than yourself
Baby your eyes were wet with tears Your skin was drenched in sorrow But you kiss was an open door
So I walked through to a new tomorrow Honey like a blade of finest steel Yea like an arrow straight and true Like gold in the hottest fire
Baby that is my love my love for you I need a drink of something like water I need a taste of love divine
Sometimes you just gotta do what you oughta Sometimes you bring up the water when the well is dry
