Wade in the water I'm coming down Leave on the bank the fears that fill my pockets Stones to drag me down I need to believe the light in me All of these jesters wearing crowns Easy to see the ones who'd have you bear their burdens Drag you down I need to believe the light I see For all of their hollow hearted words that darken days I need to believe We're learning to see the light Why do we follow them down? Why do we follow them down? Why do we follow them, follow them, follow them down? Songs of our mothers songs for you Songs for our children songs or the present Songs to share our hearts through We sing to believe the light A word to the jesters wearing crowns We will not abide your trying to tear us down We rise to see the light For all of the hollow hearted words That darken days I need to believe We're learning to see our light Why do we follow them down? Why do we follow them down? Why do we follow them down? Jesters wearing crowns If there's a reason, if ever there's a time To wade into the water to let go and leave behind I wade that know I'm falling awake and now I'm e free We remember, we remember, this precious light to breathe Why do we follow them down? Why do we follow them down? Why do we follow them down?
