Water Water

Water water everywhere
But not a drop for me
Everything I need is here
Just beyond my reach
All the faces that I see
Pass me by on the sullen street
A parting glance
A knowing stare
Deep in the water
Water everywhere
In my past blind despair
Water water everywhere
I bailed and bailed and still it flowed
It got me wet, but I didn’t know
Then I surrendered myself
And I dove right in
In the soothing pool
So began my swim
I found an answer to my prayers
Deep in the water
Water everywhere
But that was then,
This is now
A different year
Another drought
I keep on searching cause I know it’s there
Deep in the water
Water everywhere
Water water everywhere
But not a drop for me
Everything I need is here
Just beyond my reach
