I found a thing just the other day And I needed to throw it away How can I lose this permanently I'm gonna take it right on down to the Dead Sea Throw it out in the Dead Sea While I'm standing at the Dead Sea I saw a man looking back at me Could it be the man I was Or the man that I need to be Staring into the Dead Sea Oh ain't it funny how waves can flow The heavens pull and the high winds blow And then somehow we all wind up here In that place where we face our fear Out on the Dead Sea Out on the Dead Sea I don't know how it got this far Started wondering where you are I was hidden in the garden well Hoping that the saints don't tell on me Now I find me at the Dead Sea Nothing lives in the water here Nothing lives anywhere near I'm so afraid to let it be And I'm hanging on desperately So afraid of the Dead Sea Oh ain't it funny how waves can flow The heavens pull and the high winds blow Then somehow we all wind up here In that place where we face our fear Out on the Dead Sea Floating on a Dead Sea And in a place of helplessness The waters moved in a sweet caress And even though I can't drink this cup Still a hand is holding me up I can't sink in the Dead Sea Oh ain't it funny how life can go The valleys high and the mountains low Then somehow we all wind up here In that place where we face our fear And I'm alive on the Dead Sea Swimming in the Dead Sea Oh, oh, oh out on the Dead Sea (Oh, oh, oh out on the Dead Sea) Oh, oh, oh out on the Dead Sea (Oh, oh, oh out on the Dead Sea) Oh, oh, oh out on the Dead Sea (Oh, oh, oh out on the Dead Sea) Oh, oh, oh out on the Dead Sea
