Watershed Songtext
Nobody gives you a map of the ridge
You climb one mountain and you find the nest
You follow the river to the fountainhead
Wateshed
The tallest summit you look up to
Someday it's gonna look small to you
There's a new one coming into view
And you'll climb that too but before you do
You climb one mountain and you find the nest
You follow the river to the fountainhead
Wateshed
The tallest summit you look up to
Someday it's gonna look small to you
There's a new one coming into view
And you'll climb that too but before you do
You get time to stand looking off the ledge
Where the rivers branch to the east and the west
And to catch your breath at the sight of it
How the heights on which your heart was set
That you won so hard and then lost so fast
Are now somehow just silhouettes
You stop and bend in the light that's left
And you cup your hands in the riverbed
Watershed
And then you'll keep climbing step by step
By the grace of God and by your own sweat
And a river of tears that you won't forget
But you will forgive if you haven't yet
'Cause they carved the path
That you had to tread
And they'll do it again for the path ahead
And the heaven you seek is not separate
From the heart that speaks When your cheeks are wet
Watershed
Nobody gave you a map of the edge
You climbed one mountain
And you found the next
You followed the river to the fountainhead
Where the rivers branch to the east and the west
And to catch your breath at the sight of it
How the heights on which your heart was set
That you won so hard and then lost so fast
Are now somehow just silhouettes
You stop and bend in the light that's left
And you cup your hands in the riverbed
Watershed
And then you'll keep climbing step by step
By the grace of God and by your own sweat
And a river of tears that you won't forget
But you will forgive if you haven't yet
'Cause they carved the path
That you had to tread
And they'll do it again for the path ahead
And the heaven you seek is not separate
From the heart that speaks When your cheeks are wet
Watershed
Nobody gave you a map of the edge
You climbed one mountain
And you found the next
You followed the river to the fountainhead
