Water in the Well
Discovering Hope Amidst Adversity: Finding "Water in the Well
Lyrics
See the turning of the hands, hear the tolling of the bell
Recognizing the passage of time and acknowledging significant moments.
When you cross the burning sand you'll find water in the well
Despite challenges (represented by burning sand), there's hope or resolution ("water in the well").
So you gave away your heart, you gave it all away
Having given away one's heart completely.
Still you figured from the start it might turn out that way
Anticipating the potential outcome despite initial hopes.
You'll find water in the well when all hope is lost
In moments of despair, there's a source of replenishment or relief ("water in the well").
And your tears are all gone you'll find water in the well
Even when tears have ceased, there's still hope or comfort available.
When your perfect plan's not all that it could be
When plans fall short, despite efforts, there's an attempt to seek a solution.
Still you're doing all you can to find a remedy
Persisting in finding a remedy despite imperfect circumstances.
For the bruises to your pride, time is coming soon
Dealing with the hurt to one's self-esteem, expecting healing soon.
The time to stop the slide dance to a different tune
Recognizing the need for change or a shift in direction to halt negative patterns.
You'll find water in the well when all hope is lost
Reiterating the availability of hope or resolution in desperate times.
And your tears are all gone you'll find water in the well
Even when tears have dried up, there's still a chance for rejuvenation or solace.
Hear the echo of the pain recede into the night
Noticing the fading of pain, though traces remain.
Though a memory remains the urge you can defy
Feeling the ability to resist or overcome strong impulses despite lingering memories.
Now the clouds have disappeared, the sun is shining through
Emergence from a difficult period, seeing brightness after dark times.
Your eyes are white and clear, a sky of golden blue
Feeling clear and optimistic after turmoil, like a clear sky after a storm.
You'll find water in the well when all hope is lost
Reaffirming the presence of hope or resolution in dire situations.
And your tears are all gone you'll find water in the well
Even in the absence of tears and hopelessness, there's a source of replenishment or comfort.
When all hope is lost, when all hope is lost
Emphasizing the availability of hope specifically when it seems entirely lost.
You'll find water in the well
Reiteration of finding resolution or solace in desperate times.
