Underground Stream Songtext
von Irma Thomas

I heard you say you′ve lost your faith
And hope for the generations
And all of your good deeds don't pay
And you don′t get no appreciation
Said you don't get no appreciation

Well there's a hidden vein of water
Steady running deep, ever flowing secretly
Just to make the ground green
There′s an underground stream
Sweet sweet water
Gifted sons and daughters
Blessed like the flowers that drink
From an underground stream

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Lift a hand, lift a hand
Have a sweet drink of water from an underground
Sisters and brothers have a sweet drink of water
From an underground stream, yeah


Come on people, it′s time we start
Ain't no time for hesitation
Before we rip this world apart
Better help create some motivation
Like founts of love for every heart
Like precious grain to feed the nations
Like everyone who plays a part
In lifting up this whole creation
I said lifting up this whole creation

There′s a hidden vein of water
Steady running deep, ever flowing secretly
Just to make the ground green
There's an underground stream
Sweet sweet water
Gifted sons and daughters
Blessed like the flowers that drink
From an underground stream

Sweet sweet water
Gifted sons and daughters
Blessed like the flowers that drink
From an underground stream

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Lift a hand, lift a hand
Have a sweet drink of water from an underground
Sisters and brothers have a sweet drink of water
From an underground stream

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na


Lift a hand, lift a hand
Have a sweet drink of water from an underground
Sisters and brothers have a sweet drink of water
From an underground stream
