Clear Water Lyrics by Meshell Ndegéocello

The Omnichord Real Book

2023

[Intro]
Please don't be fooled by the myth of control
Be at peace within the chaos and constant rebirth of the creative mind
To be in the now of creation
To push past one's knowledge and understanding
Into the chaos
Push past the predictability and comfort
Into the unknown
Find peace in the now of creation
Find solace there
Get comfortable
Mm
Stay awhile
[Refrain]
Please take control
I just want to know you
Thank you for my life
Thank you, thank you
Please take control
I just want to love you
Thank you for my life
Thank you, thank you
[Verse]
Pain colors everything I touch
I really really really love my pain so much
Hurrah!
(Love's gonna get you, Love's gonna get you)
Now if you're living in a glass house, say it with me now
Don't throw no stones
If you're living in a glass house, say it with me now
Don't throw no stones
You gotta keep it clean
You gotta keep it clear
[Chorus]
Even in silence, I will not fear
I had to find myself just to make my way back
Be not the tyrant, be not the spear, just be the water
Just to make my way back
Bring me, bring me, bring me
Just to make my way back
Over the water, yeah
[Refrain]
Please take control
I just want to love you
Thank you for my life
Thank you, thank you
Please take control
I just want to know you
Thank you for my life
Thank you
[Bridge]
I'm in no rush
Just show me
And in your clutch
I'm folding
[Chorus and Outro]
Even in silence, I will not fear
I had to find myself just to make my way back
Be not the tyrant, be not the spear, just be the water
Just to make my way back
Bring me, bring me, bring me (Colors everything we touch)
Just to make my way back
Bring me up and over the water (Colors everything we touch)
Colors everything I touch (Colors everything we touch)
I really really love my pain so much (Colors everything we touch)
Everything, everything, everything
I really love my pain so much
