David Wilcox Carry All The Water Lyrics

Carry All The Water Lyrics

They'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone
They'll take a jack and
break your ribs apart
Ah but there never was a weakness
In the muscles
working ceaseless
Strength was not the problem with your heart

You
made a trade to conquer your wilderness
They took your time, you took what
they paid
Ah but you never saw reactions
Or really heard the
satisfaction
From the people who could use the things you
made

Chorus:
So it's like you carry all the water
On a long desert
trip
And then you die of dehydration
When you never take a sip

You
had a place, a house in a neighborhood
It was okay, but still you dreamed of
more
More than the lives that grew around you
More than the friends that
finally found you
There was a grander life that you were working
for

Chorus

They said your heart always was strong enough
To do
the work it was meant to do
And the attack you underwent
Was from a lack
of nourishment
Your heart was starving for the blood it gave to you
Your
heart is dying for the life you're pushing through

Chorus

So
they'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone
They'll take a jack and
break your ribs apart
Ah but there never was a weakness
In the muscles
working ceaseless
Strength was not the problem with your
heart

They'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone
