Holly Near Water Come Down lyrics

Children in the pastures where the water flows
Sunshine turning shirtless backs to see all
My Daddy's hat tupped back to see all his kids go running wild
It's summer time, and the water's coming down

Water from a mountain dam and the fruit of life will grow
It helps to feed a hungry land when the sky decides to snow
To Dad it means a special way to spend his life on earth
But to the rest the water means a perfect swimming hole


Water is like magic, it makes a child feel small
The brave and true for centuries
Have followed when it called
Water rushing by a child who has never seen the sea
Makes me think there must have been something
More than summer going on
