we all need water

i missed the train

i was left outside for hours in the rain

then i started swimming

but i never found home again

i started fresh

i found a clean slate

a place to lay my head

then goes the rising

from the dead

people like to tell you

what you know

what you don't know

people like to tell you

who you are

who you can't be

underneath the greasy black soil runs water

we all need water

we all need water

people like to tell you

what you want

what you don't want

people like to say

it's not a fight when they're up right

underneath the greasy black soil runs water

we all need water

we all need water

you never tell

such a sweet girl survived live in hell

i just kept on smiling

til i finally felt a thrill

i started fresh

i found a safe place where i could hang my dress

still goes the rising

there in my head

people like to tell you

what you know

what you don't know

people like to tell you

who you are

who you can't be

underneath the greasy black soil runs water

we all need water

we all need water

people like to tell you

what you want

what you don't want

people like to say

it's not a fight when they're up right

underneath the greasy black soil runs water

we all need water

we all need water

we all need

we all need

we all need water

we all need

we all need

we all need

we all need

people like to tell you

what you know

what you don't know

people like to tell you

who you are

who you can't be

underneath the greasy black soil runs water

we all need water

we all need water

people like to say

it's not a fight when they're up right
