lyrics

Lord, I know there's something special in the water that raised you
There's something different 'bout the land that makes you do just what you do
Wish I could grow a garden with whatever it is

And in the forest of your heart there is a birch tree growing sweet
And bending low into the grass there is an apple tree for me
With bitter fruits that fall and sour in the heat, just for me

If you could spend your life in disrepair
Would it be so different?
Would it be unfair?

Into the earth our roots grow deep and winding down to where it's warm
Where the water flows beneath us, though we'd never know it
Live our whole lives above silent, hidden lakes

They keep us fed and washed and drunk and clean and well-sustained
But running dry these days the source is, you can taste the change
And we can't slake that thirst for whatever it is
Not whatever it is

If we could spend our lives in disrepair
Would it be so different?
Would it be unfair?

If we could spend our lives in disrepair
Would it be so different?
It would be unfair

Oooh

Lord, I know there's something special in the water that raised you
There's something different 'bout the land that makes you do just what you do
Wish I could grow a garden with whatever it is
