Lyrics

Fill Your Own Well
copyright 9/14/1999

Verse One

I'm not buyin' what the world tries to sell.
It is so pretty, but it can be hell.
Everybody has a solutions for all of our ills,
but there's only one -
fill your own well.

Chorus

Fill your own well and nurture your dreams
at that deep, silent spring that flows - oh -oh-oh-oh
There you may -- fill your own well.

Verse 2

I'm not sayin' your problems will be solved.
Birds will start singin'. The rain won't fall.
Learning to live without knowing, yet stepping ahead - make sure that you're fed.
Fill your own well.

Chorus

Tag

The water is deep and it runs on and on.
It quenches the thirst of the weary and strong.
At that sweet, silent, singin' spring - you may
fill your own well.
