[Verse 1] You stand where the blue morning opens With two gray wings resting in place A scroll turns gold in the sunlight While the birds keep circling your face Old names rise up from the stonework Water runs clear through the seam And a rose takes shape in the fire Like a word returning in a dream You can hear the promise moving Through the dust and through the years Every thirsty heart is turning Toward the water drawing near [Chorus] Open fountain, let the waters run For the weary and the wandering one From the first light to the setting sun There is mercy enough for everyone You lift your eyes, the wings take flight A living promise in the open sky Open fountain, let the waters run Till the dry ground sings again Till the dry ground sings again [Verse 2] A hammer rings against the darkness Sparks rise bright above the cold Bees keep time among the honeycomb While the old words gather home A ram stands still inside the colors A lion keeps watch by the gate And you sing of a kingdom coming With a patience stronger than fate You can hear the promise moving Through the dust and through the years Every thirsty heart is turning Toward the water drawing near [Chorus] Open fountain, let the waters run For the weary and the wandering one From the first light to the setting sun There is mercy enough for everyone You lift your eyes, the wings take flight A living promise in the open sky Open fountain, let the waters run Till the dry ground sings again [Bridge] Let the stone remember Let the dry wells fill Let the scattered find a table Let the frightened learn to be still What was sealed is opening What was lost can come home You are not alone Here you are not alone [Final Chorus] Open fountain, let the waters run For the weary and the wandering one From the first light to the setting sun There is mercy enough for everyone You lift your eyes, the wings take flight A living promise in the open sky Open fountain, let the waters run Till the dry ground sings again Till the dry ground sings again [Outro] You stand where the blue morning opens And the water keeps running on
