Água Viva

Deep into the night, escaping the day
Desert of Qatar
I’m trying to quench my thirst
A man arrives and hovers his gaze

I see a light in his face
And I invite him to stay
His voice makes me uneasy
I long to hear

Living Water, come quench my thirst
Come with me, don’t let life eat me alive
Stop for a moment, hold me tight
Let me rest
Touch my face
Remind me how good it is to love

I don’t understand this time
If the day calls, I can’t stop
In the wake of the days
My tired feet can barely keep up

But still, persistent
He comes and lifts me off the ground
Numb, I decide to surrender

Living Water, come quench my thirst
Come with me, don’t let life eat me alive
Stop for a moment
Hold me tight, let me rest
Touch my face
Remind me how good it is to love

I’ve stopped believing
And in my tired hands, I trust no more
Tired of fighting
I surrender my days into your hands

Living Water, come quench my thirst
Come with me, don’t let life eat me alive
Stop for a moment
Hold me tight, let me rest
Touch my face
Remind me how good it is to love

Living Water, come quench my thirst
Come with me, don’t let life eat me alive
Stop for a moment
Hold me tight, let me rest
Touch my face
Remind me how good it is to love
