Irma Thomas - Underground Stream lyrics

I heard you say you've lost your faith And hope for the generations And all of your good deeds don't pay And you don't get no appreciation Said you don't get no appreciation Well, there's a hidden vein of water Steady runnin? deep, ever flowin? secretly Just to make the ground green There's an underground stream Sweet, sweet water Give to sons and daughters Blessed like the flowers that drink From an underground stream With their hands, with their hands Have a sweet drink of water from an underground Sisters and brothers have a sweet drink of water From an underground stream, yeah C'mon people it's time we start Ain't no time for hesitation Before we rip this world apart Better help create some motivation Like mounds of love for every heart Like precious grain to feed the nations Like everyone who plays the part In liftin' up this whole creation I said liftin' up this whole creation Well, there's a hidden vein of water Steady runnin? deep, ever flowin? secretly Just to make the ground green There's an underground stream Sweet, sweet water Give to sons and daughters Blessed like the flowers that drink From an underground stream Sweet, sweet water Give to sons and daughters Blessed like the flowers that drink From an underground stream In their hands, in their hands There's a sweet drink of water from an underground Sisters and brothers have a sweet drink of water From an underground Sisters and brothers have a sweet drink of water From an underground stream
