[Verse 1] I can’t wash away the shadows That spill across the land I’ve watched the rivers darken From the weight of greedy hands I can shout into the thunder I can curse the coming flood Or I can guard the spring inside me Keep it running clear with love [Pre-Chorus] Stagnant waters always spoil But motion makes them new I can’t cleanse the distant ocean But I can choose what flows to you… …from me [Chorus] So I’ll be a wellspring of goodness Where the water still runs clean Let it rise from solid ground Where the roots of hope are seen I can’t wash away the shadows But I can pour out light And the ground around me softens Every time I stand for right [Verse 2] I don’t need to fix the world Or win some moral war I tend the space I’m standing in And open up the door Every word a careful drop Every act a widening ring Kindness doesn’t argue loud It gathers everything [Pre-Chorus 2] They come thirsty, not convinced No banners, no demand Just the quiet pull of water Where the dust once choked the sand [Chorus (Lift)] So I’ll be a wellspring of goodness Not a dam, and not a wall I won’t hoard what I’ve been given I'll just let the water fall I can’t wash away the shadows But I can pour out light And the pool keeps growing wider Every time I stand for right [Bridge] Flowing water can’t stay bitter It ignores the shape of chains What reflects the light looks like it As the outflow clears the stains I didn’t fix the world’s condition I didn’t silence every doubt I just kept the source unbroken And let the goodness filter out [Final Chorus (Anthem / Resolution)] I’ll be a wellspring of goodness Let it water who I am Crystal clear and always moving Through the cracked and broken land I can’t scrub away the shadows But I can pour out light And the face I see reflected Looks a little more divine [Outro] Where I stand, the water runs clear Where I stand, the light remains I didn’t save the world from darkness I just refused to feed the drain
