I Will Drink the Wine

Someone said ,"Drink the water, but I will drink the wine"

Someone said, "Take a poor man, rich don't have a dime"

Go fool yourselves, if you will, I just haven't got the time

Yes, you can drink the water (I can drink the water)

But I will drink the wine

Someone gave me some small flowers, I held them in my hand

I looked at them for several hours, I didn't understand

Go fool yourselves, if you will, you can hold out your hand

I'll give you back your flowers (Give you back your flowers)

And I will take the land

And I will drink the wine

Sometimes, I'm very, very lonely

There's only me to care

And when I'm very, very lonely

I want someone to share

I'm gonna drink the wine

I'm gonna take my time

And believe in a world that is mine

Someone gave me flowers, held them in my hand

Looked at them for many hours, didn't understand

Go on and fool yourselves, if you will, you can hold out your hands

I'll give you back your flowers (Give you back your flowers)

And I will take the land

And I will drink the wine

And I will take the land

I will drink the wine
