The Well

Richie Havens · Other Songs - Richie Havens

There is a well

Down by the hollow

Its waters deep

As they can be

Thousands come

And millions follow

All to see

What they could see



Now some see light

And some see violence

Some see might

And some see flow

But all see truth

Deep down in silence

As they pass the booth

Where the tickets go



I am the well

I am the well



I call to all

Who cannot hear me

I call to those

Who hear as well

And those I touch

When they come near me

And those who hurt

But cannot tell



I am the well

I am the well



I am the waters

Never ending

I am reflections

From the past

I am the stream

Never bending

Until you reach

The truth at last

The truth at last

The truth at last



I am the well

I am the well

I am the well
