Thirst

Lyrics:
She walks out of town in the heat of the day
The sun it is high and her gaze it is low
She lives in the hours that best hide her shame
She knows the rules and the town knows her name
She needs water for her thirst
She needs water for her thirst
She is thirsty and the well it is deep
And she burns in the dark that she wears
She is guilty of breaking the rules
But she's chosen to live as she dares
She needs water for her thirst
For the road is as hot as can be
She needs water for her thirst
And the dust it is rising as far as she can see
She sees a stranger alone by the well
He is weary from travel and thirsty from the heat
She is surprised when he speaks out to her
He is breaking the rules that she fails to keep
I need water for my thirst
For the road is as hot as can be
I need water for my thirst
Woman, please draw from the well for me
He speaks of water for the thirst in her soul
That he is the one that the world's waiting for
He knows her past and the wrongs she has done
But she feels no judgement , salvation has come
Salvation has come.....
I need water for my soul
For I've been as dead as can
Give me water for my soul
Lord, won't You draw from the well for me
Lord , won't you draw from the well for me.

The General
Soldier man, you have lived a life
Of leading soldier men
Soldier man, you can hide your shame
Beneath your iron and steel....
How does it feel??
When there are eyes that see and want you
But they don't know the scars that taunt you
No one knows the dreams that haunt your living days
Chorus
You are good at giving orders
Not so good at taking them
You gotta go down to the river
Seven times you'll wash your body
Soldier man, you are in a battle you can't overcome
Soldier man, it will take the full surrender of your heart
Where do you start
To peel away your best defenses
Who's love will bring you
To your senses
God only knows the fears
That haunt your living days
Chorus
You are good at giving orders
Not so good at taking them
You've gotta go down to the river
Seven times you'll wash your body
And people they will watch and wonder
Who you are, some crazy man
So where is all your pride and glory
You trade it in....for a new skin.
Bridge
Doesn't it feel good, the washing of your soul
Doesn't it feel good, giving up control
Doesn't it feel good , now you've settled in
......to a new skin
