What makes this world so lovely is that somewhere it hides a well.
Something lovely there is about a well, so deep, unpiped and real
Filled with buckets and buckets of that life-giving stuff
A faucet will do in a hurry, but what makes the world so lovely
is that somewhere it hides a well.
Sometimes people are like wells - deep and real, natural (unpiped)
life-giving, calm and cool - refreshing.
They bring out what is best in you.
They are like fountains of pure joy.
They make you want to sing, or maybe dance.
They encourage you to laugh...even when things get rough.
And maybe that's why things never stay rough once you've found a well
Some experiences are like wells too.
People create them
They are life-giving happenings
They are well..wells wonders of wonder..wells of hope.
When you find a well..and you will someday..
drink deeply of the gift within
And then maybe soon, you'll discover that you've become
what you've received
And then you'll be a well for others to find.
So lift up your eyes and look at all around you.
Over the mountains, down in the valley
Out in the ocean, over the runways
Into the cities, into the country
Sidewalks and highways
Paths in the forest
Into the hearts of a thirsty people.
Look!
and I beg you..don't ever stop looking, because what makes
this world so lovely
Is that somewhere it hides a well,
a well that hasn't been found yet
And if you don't find it
Maybe
Nobody will
And if you don't be the one
Maybe
Nobody will find you!
