Cool Water
Journey through Desolation: Seeking Redemption in Cool Water
Lyrics
All day I've faced the barren waste
Facing a desolate expanse throughout the day
Without the taste of water, cool water
Deprived of the refreshing sensation of cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
Old Dan and I, experiencing parched throats
And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water
Souls yearning and crying for cool, clear water
Keep a-movin', Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan
Encouraging Dan to keep moving, ignoring negative influences
He's a devil not a man
Warning about a troublesome figure, possibly symbolic of challenges
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Describing the adversary spreading dry and arid conditions
Dan can you see that big green tree
Prompting Dan to observe a lush green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
Highlighting a location where water flows freely
And it's waiting there for you and me
Emphasizing the anticipation of water for both Dan and the speaker
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Evenings are pleasant, but the speaker feels foolish
Each star's a pool of water, cool water
Stars are likened to pools of cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
Acknowledging the dawn, signaling a new day's journey
And carry on to water, cool, clear, water
Determined to continue the quest for cool, clear water
The shadows sway and seem to say
Shadows imply a plea or hope for water during the night
Tonight we pray for water, cool, water
Expressing a collective prayer for cool water
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
Believing that a higher power will guide them to water
And show us where there's water, cool, clear, water
Seeking divine assistance in finding cool, clear water
Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for
Dan's feet are sore, expressing physical discomfort
Just one thing more than water, cool, water
Desiring something more than water, possibly comfort or relief
Like me I guess he'd like to rest
Comparing Dan's desire for rest to the speaker's own longing
Where there's no quest for water, cool, clear, water
Envisioning a place where the search for water is unnecessary
