Mabbitt Springs
Mabbitt Springs: A Healing Waters Tale
Lyrics
Pray sweet Jesus
Requesting divine intervention from Jesus
The boy is fading fast
Expressing urgency as a boy's condition worsens
Way to help him
Searching for a solution to aid the boy
That spring must be the answer
Belief that a spring holds the solution
The days have past
Reflecting on the passage of time
And I don't need your sympathy
Rejecting sympathy
All I need is faith
Seeking reliance on faith
The time has come
Realizing a critical moment has arrived
And I don't need your empathy
Declining the need for empathy
This water's working
Confirming the effectiveness of the water
Buy this land
Encouraging the purchase of land for its benefits
And everything you see from the mountain top
Signifying the expansive view from a high vantage point
Wade in the water
Invoking the act of wading into water
The cold spring heals the devil's wounds
Attributing healing properties to a cold spring
Time and patience
Emphasizing the importance of time and patience
And with a little luck we will all pull through
Expressing hope for collective recovery
The days have past
Reiteration of the passage of time
And I don't need your sympathy
Rejection of sympathy reiterated
All I need is faith
Insistence on the need for faith
The time has come
Recognizing a crucial moment approaching
And I don't need your empathy
Declining the need for empathy reiterated
This water's working
Reaffirming the effectiveness of the water
His gaze is gone
Describing the loss of focus in someone's gaze
He's staring off into the great beyond
Staring into the unknown or afterlife
Cold creek water
Highlighting the cleansing power of creek water
Washes over the fact that my boy is gone
Using water as a metaphor to cope with loss
The days have past
Reiteration of the passage of time
And I don't need your sympathy
Rejection of sympathy reiterated
All I need is faith
Insistence on the need for faith reiterated
The time has come
Recognition of a critical moment reiterated
And I don't need your empathy
Declining the need for empathy reiterated
Nothing works
Expression of desperation that nothing is effective
