[Verse 1] In the water, they sort it out They were waist to neck in December somehow In the water, they twist and shout They were born again, so they can start living now In the water, they saw the face Of the man who once owned it, ashamed and disgraced In the water, they asked them both “How did you get the gold without digging any holes?”
[Chorus] Never had it any other way Drowning in the praise Never had a chance to break apart Hard for them to see What’s really in this place, now
[Verse 2] “Hide your daughters”, the old men say You were young once before, you know how we get our way Feel the horror with no delay We all see what once was beautiful has turned and old and grey
[Chorus] Never had it any other way Drowning in the praise Never had a chance to break apart Hard for them to see It’s really a disgrace
[Bridge] I can’t think it enough Can’t say it enough Can’t do it enough I can’t make it enough Can’t fake it enough I don’t want it enough So everyone’ll wait
[Instrumental riff]
[Chorus] Never had it any other way Drowning in the grace Never had a chance to break apart Hard for them to see It’s really in its place
[Outro] I can’t say it enough Can’t sing it enough So I’ll find another way
[Postlude: Old man] And we sing this morning that wonderful and grand ol’ message And I don’t know about you, I never get tired of it Numbe-
[Robotic voice:] The seven years The seven years The seven years The seven years The seven years The seven years The seven years
