Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope you see me there
It's in the water, it's where you came from
It's in the water, it's where you came from
And the crowd begins to wander
And they cry to see your face
Your sons and daughters in all their glory it's gonna shape 'em
And when they pledge and come together, and start arising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from
The road it was carved from nothing
Never sold yourself away
It's in the water, it's in the story of where you came from
Your sons and daughters in all their glory its gonna shape 'em
And when they pledge and come together, and start arising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from
It's in the water where you came from
It's in the water where you came from
It's in the water where you came from
And when they pledge and come together and start arising
Just drink the water where you came from where you came from

When road is carved up yonder
When the path ahead is uncertain
I hope you see me there
I hope you recognize me and our shared past
It's in the water, it's where you came from
Your identity and heritage are ingrained in you
And the crowd begins to wander
The people around you may stray from their roots
And they cry to see your face
But they still yearn for a connection to their origins
Your sons and daughters in all their glory it's gonna shape 'em
Your descendants will be influenced by your heritage and traditions
And when they pledge and come together, and start arising
When they unite and begin to make a change
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from
Stay true to your roots and embrace your heritage
The road it was carved from nothing
Our path in life is not predetermined
Never sold yourself away
Don't compromise your values and identity
