When the stranger came to town

All the people waltzed with wonder

In their tattered clothes they gather round

And raised their eyes up from the dust

And the stranger said to them

I have been upon the mountain

I have witnessed forces like cannons

That can ram you to the ground

Stand up on your feet

Your life is short as hell

You could be dead tomorrow

Today maybe your last chance

To believe in yourself

Your last chance

To yell

Your last chance

To be good to yourself

Your last chance

To drink from life's well

In the crowd of voices heard

Should you get them before they get you

Should we strike the first blow

And you said, No, no, you don't understand,

The enemy is in your heart

Self-respect robbed by self-content

Look across the country

All the people with their dreams

Dead in their hearts

(Chorus)

To drink from the well

Oh yeah

Oooh wooo

Woooo

It could be your last chance

To believe in yourself

Your last chance to yell

Your last chance

To be good to yourself, hell

Your last chance

To drink from life's well

Drink from the well

Oh yeah, yeah

Oooooh wooo ooooh wooo

Drink from the well
