Strumming all my toys
Is like drinking holy water
Making lots of noise
Is like drinking holy water
Everything I am
Everything I see
Helps me understand
Deep inside?. I gotta be me.
A tune to cure the soul
Is like drinking holy water
A song can make you whole
Like you're drinking holy water
2nd Chorus
The truth is in your heart
You have a song to sing
Uncovering your soul
You find the key?.. to everything
Time to sing along
Time to drink up holy water
Time to be reborn
Time to drink up holy water
Everything I am
Everything I see
Helps me understand
Deep inside?. I gotta be me.
