about

For each of us, there is a place where we may yet find strength, to be revived.

lyrics

Your blue sky friends have fallen wayside
Look beyond them, kindred stand revealed
All of your dreams that now seem stupid
You're just exhausted, come and rest afield

Fall on your knees
Feel yourself undone
Thirst for something
Quenching, find no hope, no sun
Take it down to the ledge
Where the hillside
Likes to sing
Cup your hands and may you drink
Slow cool water from the ancient spring
Slow cool water from the ancient spring

Some days enchantment seemed illusion
But it's true you're magic every time
Enemies bitter by your confidence
Let them go now, they're only petty crimes

Cold rakes your skin
And you need to feel again
The moss 'neath your feet
It's true, it’s rich and thick with life
Kneeling down at the ledge
Where the hillside
Likes to sing
Cup your hands as you drink
Slow cool water from the ancient spring
Slow cool water from the ancient spring

Rise from your knees
Stand by my side
This place will grow
Our work goes on
Timber and frame
Tender we guide
Building this house with
Rivets of pride

We will grow, we will grow
We will grow, we will sing, drinking
Slow cool water from the ancient spring
Slow cool water from the ancient spring
