Water Flowing Downward

Water's always flowing downward

Maybe I should go there, too

With the people who know hunger

And feel the rains come flooding through

Take what's given

And don't ask questions

Do your best to look away

But I can't go softly

I won't go gently

I'll choose the water everyday

What a woman with a secret

Something that is buried deep

In a house that's filled with sunlight

Rays that warm her while she sleeps

Take what's given

And don't ask questions

Do your best to look away

But I can't go softly

I won't go gently

I'll choose the water everyday

I could tell you of that evening

When it all came tumbling down

With my family gathered 'round me

In a house half underground

Take what's given

And don't ask questions

Do your best to look away

But I can't go softly

I won't go gently

I'll choose the water everyday

But I can't go softly

I won't go gently

I'll choose the water everyday
