Carry the thirsty to the riverside, over desert days of lost dignity,
Break through walls of twisted hearts, from chaos into holy symmetry,
Fires burn wildly; violent, consuming,
Anger burns loudly, soundlessly spilling into dazzling, undrinkable, dusty days,
Carry the thirsty to the riverside.
Everybody, everybody, please join hands,
The strong, the weak, and the weary ones,
Everybody, everybody, please join hands,
Heal the soul, and the hearts undone.
Earth relentlessly shakes sure ground,
The weary collapse from their passion and pain,
The pale moon wanes, and the rain clouds bleed,
Emotions rage like a hurricane.
Everybody, everybody, please join hands,
The strong, the weak, and the weary ones,
Everybody, everybody, please join hands,
Heal the souls, and the hearts undone.
Screamers, bruisers, self-consumed abusers,
Iron fists, broken hearts, spit words, poison darts,
Smoke screens, smoke rings, tired scenes, broken wings,
Half a mile from Heaven, and a foot in hell.
There is a lifeboat waiting in the harbour,
Love is its colours, go and tell the others,
Elbow to elbow, face to face,
Finally sailing for a lovelier place.
Oh, everybody, everybody, please join hands,
The strong, the weak, and the weary ones,
Everybody, everybody, please join hands,
Heal the souls, and the hearts undone,
Everybody, everybody, please join hands,
The strong, the weak, and the weary ones,
Everybody, everybody, please join hands,
Heal the souls, and the hearts undone.
