Water and Wine

How long has it been
Since my heart could begin

To believe in the tales

To believe in these signs?

How much will it take
For all my soul's sake

To believe in the wonders

Of water and wine?

Can I be a child
And put faith in the wild

And not hear those old doubts

That have been for all time?

Now I long for that voice

From this brave heart of mine

Who believes in each single

Fantastic sign

Who believes in each miracle

Good work divine

Of water and wine
Water and wine

Who believes in that Power
For whom the dead pine

Of water and wine
Water and wine

And who longs for that kingdom
That all the good find

And there they will dine
Yes, merrily dine
