Water Song Lyrics

Canyons carved out by oceans
Beneath the light of a billion stars
The old ones new the truth about us
Our purpose is to be just what we are
Our purpose is to be just what we are

Canyons carved out by notions
Neanderthals wrestling with time
Mountains of impassible proportions
That only exist inside our minds
That only exist inside our minds

And the water it grows
And it covers your soul
And you know that it's all anybody can do
Just to be who we are
When the times they get hard
And there's no where that's left to run to
And the water it grows
And the water it grows
And it carves up the world
Like it carves up the stone

And the water it grows
And the water it grows
And it carved up the world
Like it carved up the stone
Carves up the world
Like it carved out our bones

Staring twenty years into the future
Wondering if that's me that I see
Wrinkles carved out by emotions
Standing in water up to my knees
Standing in water up to my knees

And the water it grows
And it covers your soul
And you know that it's all anybody can do
Just to be who we are
When the times they get hard
And there's no where that's left to run to
And the water it grows
And the water it grows
And the water it grows
And the water it grows
And it carves up the world
Like it carved up the stone
