but with the power chords thrown in.)
When road is carved up yonder
I hope you see me there
It's in the water, it's where you came from
It's in the water, it's where you came from
And the crowd begins to wander
And they cry to see your face
It's in the water, it's in the story of where you came from
Your sons and daughters in all their glory, it's gonna shape 'em
And when they pledge and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from
Your road it was called from yonder
Never sold yourself away
It's in the water, it's in the story of where you came from
Your sons and daughters in all their glory its gonna shape 'em
And when they pledge and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from
It's in the water, it's where you came from (where you came from)
And when they pledge and come together (it's in the water)
And start rising (it's where you came from)
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from
