The Band
Music & lyrics by Vij Sodera
There’s a bird on the wing
There’s a man of the dust below
There’s a bird on the wing
There’s a sky full of seeds to sow
There’s a man of the dust, he’s dying
The reason, well, he just don’t know
He needs water, water
Water that would make the seed grow
He needs water, sweet water
Water, sweet water, yea,
Water that would make the seed grow
There’s a Man by the well
Hey, there’s a woman in the village below
There’s a Man by the well
There’s a well full of seeds to sow
There’s a woman with a thirst, she’s dying
But a light flickers deep in her soul
He gives her water, water
Water that would make the seed grow
He gives her water, sweet water
Water, sweet water, yea,
Water that would make the seed grow
There’s a Man in the middle
And all the people they just want to know
There’s a Man in the middle and in speaking is the Word
He’s saying OUT OF ME THE RIVER FLOWS!
Some said surely He is able to point the way
He’s the One we’ve been waiting for
Some said hey! He is none of those things
And to His words they closed the door
He offers her water, water
Water that would make the seed grow
He offers water, sweet water
Water, sweet water, yea,
Water that would make the seed grow
