The Well Lyrics


Leave it all behind, Leave it all behind, Leave it all behind. Leave it all behind,
I have what you need, but you keep on searching, I've done all the work, but you keep on working,
When you're running on empty, and you can't find the remedy, just come to the well.
You can spend your whole life, chasing what's missing, but that empty inside, it just ain't gonna listen.
When nothing can satisfy, and the world leaves you high and dry, just come to the well.
CHORUS
And all who thirst will thirst no more, and all who search will find what their souls long for,
The world will try, but it can never fill, so leave it all behind, and come to the well
So bring me your heart, No matter how broken, Just Leave it all behind, Leave it all behind, Leave it all behind, Leave it all behind.
I have what you need, but you keep on searching, I've done all the work, but you keep on working,
When you're running on empty, and you can't find the remedy, just come to the well.
You can spend your whole life, chasing what's missing, but that empty inside, It just ain't gonna listen.
When nothing can satisfy, and the world leaves you high and dry, Just come to the well
CHORUS
And all who thirst will thirst no more, and all who search will find what their souls long for,
The world will try, but it can never fill, so leave it all behind, and come to the well
So bring me your heart, No matter how broken, just come as you are,
When your last prayer is spoken, Just rest in my arms a while, When you come to the well

CHORUS
And all who thirst will thirst no more, and all who search will find what their souls long for,
The world will try, but it can never fill, So leave it all behind, and come to the well
Yeah Leave it all behind
The world will try, but it can never fill... leave it all behind And now that you're full,
Of love beyond measure, your joy's gonna flow, like a stream in the desert,
Soon all the world will see that living water is found in me, Cuz you came to the well
CHORUS
And all who thirst will thirst no more, and all who search will find what their souls long for,
The world will try, but it can never fill, so leave it all behind, and come to the well come as you are,
When your last prayer is spoken, Just rest in my arms a while, When you come to the well
CHORUS
And all who thirst will thirst no more, and all who search will find what their souls long for,
The world will try, but it can never fill, so leave it all behind, and come to the well
Yeah Leave it all behind
The world will try, but it can never fill... leave it all behind
And now that you're full, of love beyond measure, your joy's gonna flow, Like a stream in the desert,
Soon all the world will see that living water is found in me, Cuz you came to the well
CHORUS
And all who thirst will thirst no more, and all who search will find what their souls long for, The world will try, but it can never fill,
So leave it all behind, and come to the well
