Well, I tell you This-this, this song, I think it's a good one Erm, it's a good, it's a good follow up to Rebel Because after I did, this is-, this is what I encountered Moving down the streams of my lifetime Pulls the fascination in my sleeve Cooling off the fire of my longing Boiling off my cold within his heat Melting down the walls of inhibition Evaporating all of my fears Baptizing me into complete submission Dissolving my condition with his tears He's just like the water I ain't felt this way in years He's just like the water, the water I ain't felt this way in years Coursing through my senses, he's prevailing Floating through the space of my design Drowning me to find my inside sailing Drinking in the mainstream of mind Filling up the cup of my emotions Spilling over into all I do If I only I could get lost in his ocean Surviving on the thought of loving you He's just like the water I ain't felt this way in years, in years He's just like the water, the water I ain't felt this way in years Bathing in the fountain of his essence He causes my expression to remain Humbled on a mountain by his presence Washing my intentions with his name Sealing off the floodgates of his passions Saving all his liquid for his own Moisturizing me to satisfaction In my imagination, no, no He's pouring out his soul to me for hours and hours Drawing out my nature with his hands Yearning, I'm so thirsty for his power Burning to be worthy of his land He's just like the water I ain't felt this way in years He's just like the water I ain't felt this way in years Cleaning me He's purging me And moving me around He's bathing me And he's claiming me And moving me around Around and around and around And around Watching me, claiming me Moving me around He's purging me He's been cleaning me And moving me around And around And around Around Around He's moving me around Y'all gettin' paid to clap like this? You sure? 'Cause we could work somethin' out later
