When the road is carved of yonder I hope you see me there It's in the water, it's where you came from It's in the water, it's where you came from When the crowd begin to wonder And they cry to see your face It's in the water, it's in the story Of where you came from Your sons and daughters in all their glory It's gonna shape up And when they clash and come together And start rising Just drink the water where you came from Where you came from Your road, it was cold from yonder Never sold yourself away It's in the water, it's in the story Of where you came from Your sons and daughters in all their glory It's gonna shape up And when they clash and come together And start rising Just drink the water where you came from Where you came from Where you came from Oh oh where you came from And when they clash and come together And start rising Just drink the water where you came from Where you came from
