Lyrics
BUCKET IN A WELL
alan semerdjian
Isn?t that the song I tried to sing
resting barefoot on a nest of pins?
I?ve struggled hard,
climbed the moonlight, still.
If I could finally catch a prayer alive, I?d sing a thousand hymns.
Isn?t that the dream I spoke about,
threw a bucket in a well and wished out loud?
I tried to walk on water, but I fell right in;
I didn?t get a chance to see the divine, but I learned how to swim.
I didn?t get a chance to see the divine, but I learned how to swim.
It?s invisible, but we?re getting stronger.
