The Dead Sea

I found a thing just the other day
And I needed to throw it away
How can I lose this permanently
Gonna take it right on down to the Dead Sea
Throw it out in the Dead Sea
While I'm standing at the Dead Sea,
I saw a man looking back at me
Could it be the man I was
Or the man that I need to be
Staring into the Dead Sea
Ain't it funny how waves can flow
The heavens pull and the high winds blow
Then somehow we all wind up here
In that place where we face our fear
Out on the Dead Sea

Don't know how it got this far
I was wondering where you are
I was hidden in the Garden well
Hoping that the saints don't tell on me
And now I find me at the Dead Sea
Nothing lives in the water here
Nothing lives anywhere near
So afraid to let it be
And I'm hanging on desperately
Floating out on the Dead Sea
Ain't it funny how waves can flow
The heavens pull and the high winds blow
Then somehow we all wind up here
In that place where we face our fear
So afraid of the Dead Sea

In a place of helplessness
The waters moved in a sweet caress
Even though I can't drink this cup
Still a hand is holding me up
I can't sink in the Dead Sea
Ain't it funny how waves can flow
The heavens pull and the high winds blow
Then somehow we all wind up here
In that place where we face our fear
And I'm alive on the Dead Sea
Swimming in the Dead Sea
