Everybody's standing in a lake
Crying out for the rain
Hoping for a miracle to drive away the pain
And some are heavy with a thirst which burns their very soul
For no-one sees direction when they're standing in a hole
Big thirst on my head 0 Lord
Big thirst in my mouth
But I can see those green fields
Stretchin' to the south
Some are walking in their graves
Knowing it's no use
Beaten up for ignorance and treated with abuse
O God I need your hand so bad, help me to get through
Cause I know there's a place for me standing next to you
Big thirst on my head O Lord
Big thirst in my mouth
But I can see those green fields
Stretchin' to the south
Everybody's looking up at the sky
Waiting for a sign
Blind men leading blind men
Who are dragging on a line
People shooting at the sun, trying hard not to see
All the trouble in this world that's caused by you and me
Big thirst on my head O Lord
Big thirst in my mouth
But I can see those green fields
Stretchin' to the south
