Waters Roll
Inviting Hope: Let the Waters Roll - Jenny & Tyler
Lyrics
This isn't an attempt to be political
This song is not an attempt to engage in politics.
This isn't an attack to try to make us feel culpable
It's not an attack aimed at making us feel guilty.
This is an invitation to watch the waters roll
An invitation to observe the natural flow of life.
And write new songs, worthy of a listen
Encouraging the creation of meaningful and worthwhile songs.
I'm not trying to be the better man
Not striving to be morally superior.
I just want to know the love that's held these hands
Expressing a desire to understand the love that has shaped the speaker.
And try to feel, and dream, and understand
Aspiring to feel, dream, and comprehend life.
And watch those waters roll, where they never gone before
Watching the progression of life to new territories.
Roll! Roll down!
Calling for the waters to roll down.
Roar loud! Resound! Resound!
Urging the waters to roar loudly and resound.
I have heard stories of miracles
Referencing stories of miraculous events.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
Recalling the speaker's experience of witnessing divine glory.
I have a dream of a different world
Expressing a dream of a better world.
Where the waters ever-roll and the earth thirsts no more
Imagining a world where waters continually flow, and the earth's thirst is quenched.
Roll! Roll down!
Reiterating the call for the waters to roll down.
Roar loud! Resound! Resound!
Emphasizing the desire for a loud and resonating roar.
Over the noise of all the proud
Addressing the noise of pride and arrogance.
Roll down! Roll down!
Continuing the call for the waters to roll down.
Where every color, tongue, and caste is free
Envisioning a world where all differences are accepted and everyone is free.
And all man's wickedness is finally ceased
Desiring an end to human wickedness.
Where every mountainside hears freedom ring
Imagining a world where freedom resonates across every mountainside.
Where the waters ever-roll and the righteous thirst no more
Repeating the vision of waters that never cease to roll, and the righteous never thirst.
Roll! Roll down!
Reiterating the call for the waters to roll down.
Roar loud! Resound! Resound!
Re-emphasizing the desire for a loud and resonating roar.
Over the noise of all the proud
Again addressing the noise of pride and arrogance.
Roll down! Roll down!
Continuing the call for the waters to roll down.
I'm still looking for that beauty
Expressing an ongoing search for beauty in life.
For a love that never doubts
Desiring a love that is unwavering and free of doubt.
For a dream that never dies
Seeking a dream that persists without fading away.
For those waters to roll down
Yearning for the continuous flow of the metaphorical waters.
I'm still looking for that beauty
Continuing the search for beauty in life.
For the strength to raise a fight
Desiring the strength to stand up for what is right.
For the rain to raise the waters
Hoping for circumstances that elevate the metaphorical waters.
For those waters to reign high
Yearning for the waters to rise high, symbolizing positive change.
I'm still looking for that beauty
Reiterating the ongoing search for beauty in life.
I'm still looking for that beauty
Continuing the acknowledgment of the perpetual search for beauty.
I'm still looking for that beauty
Emphasizing the persistent quest for beauty.
I'm still looking for that beauty
Repeating the search for beauty, underscoring its importance.
I'm still looking for that
Reiterating the ongoing search for that elusive beauty.
Looking for that
Highlighting the continuous pursuit of beauty as a significant aspect of life.
