Drink Of Water

(album: Ambrosia - 1975)

Someone talks about a road
At the end find life's gold

I went out to get a drink of water
But I saw an ocean far away
I thought of how much beyond awaits me
Foolishly I turned my head the other way

Do you like where you're living at?
I'm not happy inside
You could build a golden house
Yeah but still I'm sad inside

I set out on a long and lonely journey
And travelled through some strange and distant lands
And many times I thought I'd found life's meaning
But it slipped away like water in the sand

Do you like where you're living at?
I'm not happy inside
You could build a golden house
And still I'm sad inside

One summer storm, I'm waiting for the sun
One summer storm, I've waited so long
Waited so long Yeahhhhhhhh!

In our lives, we've all drank of the water
Heard the ocean calling out our names
Some will seek and find their life's meaning
And some will turn their heads the other way...
