Tell Me

Oh, mother, tell me now

Where do you go to fill that light you have

Is there somethin' in the water

Down by the river?

Oh, father, tell me how

Am I supposed to know which road is mine?

Do I follow where the wind blows?

Is there anything we know for sure?

Oh, sister, tell me where

Where did you go to find that strength you have

To carry all of the trouble

Right there in your hand

Oh, brother, tell me why

You had to go across the river?

All the colors of the sky

Like someone painted with the clouds

Is there somethin' in the water

Is there somethin' in the water
