Nothing but the Water

I have tried to find my way
to make it through
to a better day
i have cried a mighty song
but in the morning
everything is gone

so come on water, sweet water
wash me down
so come on water, sweet water
wash me down

i have tried so many times
to put out the devil's fire
but everytime i sit down to pray
the devil's charm pulls me away

so come on water, sweet water
wash me down
so come on water, sweet water
wash me down

(keyboard solo)

ooo... ooo...

(guitar solo)

up in heaven
they know the rule
you gotta get down
to the bathin pool
everybody gotta get in line
down in the river
we're doin fine

water, sweet water
wash me down
come on water, sweet water
wash me down

now i'm ready
it's my time
if i give a nickel
i might get a dime
only the water can help me now
i'll find glory somewhere somehow

so come on water, sweet water
wash me down
so come on water, sweet water
wash me down

hey...

i tried my hand at the bible
i tried my hand at prayer
but now nothing but the water
is gonna bring my soul to bear
