lyrics

Like a water
Like a rain
Like an oasis
Or a desert spring
You can hear the music
Whispering
Release the truth you feel you
Had to keep contained

Ancient mystics
Are now simple and plain
Obey the modern system
On the borders of insane
They were raped and pillaged
By the son of a man
Who made a burning village
And a soul of sand

Holding out in all this rain
For tomorrow or today
All the seasons fade away
Older now and nothing's changed

Saw a downtown preacher
In search of fame
Trying to be a teacher
Of the common faith
The truth is told by
The look in his eye
Does he really know it
Or is it a disguise

Holding out in all this rain
For tomorrow or today
All the seasons fade away
Older now and nothing's changed

Got to find the fountain
Get back to the source again
Climb the mountain
Of the world within
