They say there's an ocean
At the end of this creek,
Miles from where
I can see.

All I know
Are cool, sweet waves
Of this creek
Against my legs.

These are healing waters,
Flowing to me.
Healing waters
Sparkle and speak.

Healing waters,
On their way to the sea.
They take my cares.
Someday they'll take me.

Something in the rain
And in the creek
Makes me dream
Of that sea.

Those dreams
Put peace in me.
They heal me,
And help me sleep.

These are healing waters,
Flowing to me.
Healing waters
Sparkle and speak.

Healing waters,
On their way to the sea.
They take my cares.
Someday they'll take me.
