Water in the Creek

I clung to a blindfold and a book
 I couldn't think, I couldn't look
 A car careening off the road
 I spoke like a riddle, in a dream
 My heart was pumping gasoline
 I still was sleeping when i woke
 My head, ran away, and then my heart
 The whole caboodle fell apart
 I didn't notice I was gone
 But now, there is music, there is light
 There is laughter, there is sight
 I am new, and I am strong
 Free me, scrub away my calloused thoughts, release me Clean me, there's water in the creek And I will wash away my sad defeats and start, this all anew
 I thought I knew it all before
 My cup was spilling on the floor
 I had to pour it down the drain
 Now I can fill it up anew
 With something real, with something true
 I'm standing naked in the rain
 Free me, scrub away my calloused thoughts, release me Clean me, there's water in the creek And I will wash away my sad defeats and start, this all anew
 The beginner's mind will see
 That there's a forest for the trees
 And that we're smaller than the sum of who we are
 With a whisper or a shout
 The voice will shake you in and out
 And leave you empty as a midnight boulevard, ooh
 Free me, scrub away my calloused thoughts, release me Clean me, there's water in the creek And I will wash away my sad defeats and start, this all anew
