When the world you live in
Really gets you down
When you feel a pain inside you
Starting to pound
And the girl you love
She doesn't want to know
Let an old friend as a Godsend
Lead you to where peaceful waters flow
And if the day you thought
Was drawing to a close
Just drags on and on till when
Only heaven knows
And the car you bought this morning doesn't go
Let an old friend as a Godsend
Lead you to where peaceful waters flow
There you'll find
Much to your pleasure
That you haven't got a care
All the worries you had in you
Are no longer there

Take my hand and I will lead you to a place
Where the sun will warm your heart
With all of its rays
And the sky at night
Has such a magic glow
It's feeling unbelieving
In a land where peaceful waters flow
Where you'll find
Much to your pleasure
That you haven't got a care
All the worries you had in you
Are no longer there
Follow me and I will lend you to a place
Where the sun will warm your heart
With all of its rays
And the sky at night
Has such a magic glow
It's a feeling unbelieving
In a land where peaceful waters flow
Where peaceful water flow
Take me to where peaceful waters flow
Take me back where peaceful waters flow
