Joy To The City

Can you see the water trickling
Flowing from under the entrance?
A life-giving stream is started
Dispersing the finest fragrance
A river that is cristal clear
Flows through the jasper foundations
Trees that grow fruits every month:
Life and healing for the nations

Joy to the city, joy to the city
This river and its streams will bring
Joy to the city, joy to the city
From deep inside you
It can polish the hardest parts
Melt down the frozen hearts
Come and take this rapid trip
This river will bring you up

Can you see the dried-up riverbeds?
Do you believe they will echo?
The sound of a rushing river
That could not be passed through?
Fields of green grass will take the place
Of parched fields and wilting crops
Like all of nature revive
By meltwater from the mountaintops

I wasted my money
On what really doesn't comes first
I worked hard on something
That doesn't quench my thirst
Rejected to the source and tried
To collect the water I'd found
In cracked and leaking pits
Dug in the ground
