Got No Water Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You quench my thirsting soul and you fill my appetite
I give myself to you because you treat me right
Put my trust in the world and the world gets tight
Shift my trust to you it's like a crystal clear night
Expand in all directions get the sections to unite
Hashem's rays fire blaze light my way light of my life
And these days well wait no longer night
Reaching for my God like skyscrapers in the night
I said I know its hard inside is empty galus (Exile) cuts like a knife
Internalize torah vibes bound to feel alright

[Chorus]
Whirlwind of praise from below to above
Take flight in the sky got wings like a dove
Soaring to shamayim (Heaven) where the angels call in love
And the glory of Hashem fits like a glove

[Verse 2]
Hashem rules the world and Israel is his wife
Love you yes my God with all my heart my soul and my might
When I feel you by my side yes I'm flying like a kite
You open up my eyes and give me sight
Super energized and everyday I feel you give me life
I seen the ways of the world intoxifying on pride
Young man don't you know drugs impurify your mind
When Israel left mitzrayim four fifths got left behind
If you got no water how you gonna survive
Roots lead you to the well springs so you could stay alive
Pharaoh claimed to be a God and claimed to make the Nile
A crocodile could smile and show his teeth
You could see beauty shining externally but that's the story of Greece
Inside America bleeds, Israel won't you get up from your knees
Its just lies in disguise Torah's truth won't you please realize
Given to the humble one on Mt. Sinai
[Chorus]
Whirlwind of praise from below to above
Take flight in the sky got wings like a dove
Soaring to shamayim (Heaven) where the angels call in love
And the glory of Hashem fits like a glove

[Bridge]
Shma Y'sroel, Hashem Elokainu, Hashem Echad
(Hear Israel, the lord is our God, the lord is one)

[Verse 3]
The world could just crumble to dust its just us it's not two it's just one
The middle road called truth, Torah you sooth my brain bruise
Open up peruse with knowledge of God
And move up an arousal from below till the secrets start to ooze
Don't snooze it's pure light the most high wants us alive
What's the proof?
We got life!
Chabad philosophy that's the deepest well-spring
Gaining knowledge of God while your gaining money
Fill up yourself with the light of his majesty
In a world of separation that's the only way to be
It's time we leave we won't flee just walk out easily

[Bridge]
If you got no water how you gonna survive
[Chorus]
Whirlwind of praise from below to above
Take flight in the sky got wings like a dove
Soaring to shamayim (Heaven) where the angels call in love
And the glory of Hashem fits like a glove
