lyrics

I wish I was water winding down a wooded stream,
Gently making music as I go.
I'd roll around the rocks and under fallen trees,
Happy to be going with the flow.

'Cause it's been hard for me,
To settle down and see,
There's an easy way to go...

Like the water,
A rainbow in the sky is painted water.
When everything is dry we pray for water.
The tears that say good-bye are salt and, water pouring from our soul,
They ease the pain of letting go...
Like the water.

I wish I was water in a still and silent lake,
Reflecting all the beauty up above.
Always calm and fluid through the ripples and the waves,
That come and go whenever there is love.

I should have hung around,
And maybe given ground,
But I've never found a way to live...

Like the water,
A rainbow in the sky is painted water.
When everything is dry we pray for water.
The tears that say good-bye are salt and, water pouring from our soul,
They ease the pain of letting go...
Like the water.

And I wish I could say,
“I know I'll find my way,
'Cause now I have the faith to fall...”

Like the water,
A rainbow in the sky is painted water.
When everything is dry we pray for water.
The tears that say good-bye are salt and, water pouring from our soul,
They ease the pain of letting go...
Like the water.
