Underground Stream - 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 runnin?

deep, ever flowin?

secretly

Just to make the ground green

There?

s an underground stream

Sweet, sweet water

Give to sons and daughters

Blessed like the flowers that drink

From an underground stream

With their hands, with their hands

Have a sweet drink of water from an underground

Sisters and brothers have a sweet drink of water

From an underground stream, yeah

C?

mon people it?

s time we start

Ain?

t no time for hesitation

Before we rip this world apart

Better help create some motivation

Like mounds of love for every heart

Like precious grain to feed the nations

Like everyone who plays the part

In liftin' up this whole creation

I said liftin' up this whole creation

Well, there?

s a hidden vein of water

Steady runnin?

deep, ever flowin?

secretly

Just to make the ground green

There?

s an underground stream

Sweet, sweet water

Give to sons and daughters

Blessed like the flowers that drink

From an underground stream

Sweet, sweet water

Give to sons and daughters

Blessed like the flowers that drink

From an underground stream

In their hands, in their hands

There?

s a sweet drink of water from an underground

Sisters and brothers have a sweet drink of water

From an underground

Sisters and brothers have a sweet drink of water

From an underground stream
