Lyrics
[Chorus]
We are reincarnated souls from that time
And we are living on earth, heat, air, and water
This time
We are reincarnated souls from that time
And we are living on earth, heat, air, and water
This time
[Verse 1]
In the beginning was the word
And the word manifested itself in the flesh
Which even became man
All because of the divine plan
[Verse 2]
Man being lower than the angels
Over all Earth was he given dominion
He devised his own destruction
But the word lives on and on
[Verse 3]
Who is weary
Let him come hither, oh
He who has eyes to see
Let him look yonder
[Verse 4]
All who are thirsty
Let them drink clear water
Drink water, drink water
[Chorus]
We are reincarnated souls from that time
And we are living on earth, heat, air, and water
This time
We are reincarnated souls from that time
And we are living on earth, heat, air, and water
This time
[Verse 5]
Nothing is new under the sun
All has been here since time begun
And with all the years we've spent
Only changing names, protect the innocent
[Verse 6]
Like a seed that is planted by the water
Appear to die before new birth
Changing its form to another
Taking on a structure just as the first
[Verse 7]
He who is weary
Let him come hither, oh
He who has eyes to see
Let him look yonder
[Verse 8]
All who are thirsty
Let them drink clear water
Drink water, drink water
