Take me to the water
Let me drink right from the well
Take me from this madness
I’ve been knocking on the gates of hell 
And if heaven is on the hillside,
Then why am I walking downhill? 
Take me to your leader
I’ve got water, I’ve got the will

And I went searching
For some peace of mind 
There were all these shadows 
All these walls to climb
And I went running
Running from myself
Bumping into trouble
Reaching out for help

Take me to the water
Let me drink right from the well
Take me from this madness
I’ve been knocking on the gates of hell 
And if heaven is on the hillside,
Then why am I walking downhill? 
Take me to your leader
I’ve got water, I’ve got the will

And I went quiet
Nothing passed my lips 
There was all this darkness 
I had lost my grip
And I went praying 
Praying on my knees

Take me to the water
Let me drink right from the well
Take me from this madness
I’ve been knocking on the gates of hell 
And if heaven is on the hillside,
Then why am I walking downhill? 
Take me to your leader
I’ve got water, I’ve got the will

No, I'm not that troubled now
Yes, I know I let you down
All I am is all I know
I had to leave so I could go away from here

Take me to the water
Let me drink right from the well
Take me from this madness
I’ve been knocking on the gates of hell
