Where do you go to find
The spring where your soul drinks deep?
Tell me, is the water there bitter or sweet?
Tell me, is the water there bitter or sweet?
Does the water restore your heart?
Does it fill you up at the center
So that something of your essence
Flows out to this thirsty world?

Tell me, is the water there bitter or sweet?
