Bucket in a Well

(Alan Semerdjian)
BUCKET IN A WELL / a. semerdjian

Isn’t that the song I tried to sing?
I was resting barefoot on a nest of pins…
I struggled hard
I climbed the moonlight still
if I could finally catch a prayer alive, I’d sing a thousand hymns

Isn’t that the dream I spoke about
threw a bucket in a well and wished out loud?
I tried to walk on water, but I fell right in
I didn’t get a chance to see the divine, but I learned how to swim
I didn’t get a chance to see the divine, but I learned how to swim

We’re getting stronger…we’re getting strong…
It’s invisible, but we’re getting stronger.

Isn’t that the song I tried to sing?
I was resting barefoot on a nest of pins…
I tried to walk on water, but I fell right in
I didn’t get a chance to see the divine, but I learned how to swim
I didn’t get a chance to see the divine, but I learned how to swim

I didn’t get a chance to see love…
