About This Song
Reservoir was inspired by psalms in the Bible where King David is crying out to God. Of course, not everyone believes in God so I didn’t want to explicitly use the word God. Instead I’m singing about feeling world-weary and searching for a reservoir for relief.
Lyrics
I've been standing here
Stuck on repeat
Droning like a melody gone on too long
Dry as a leaf
Curling, browning off the tree
Just trying to find my way back home
Oh great reservoir
I search for where you are
Oh how lost we are
Fill us up someday
The power we accrue
Never honest in it's use
Some get mercy, others get blame
Human excavators
Open mouth bloviators
Try to redirect river flows
But I’ve seen how water moves
It finds it way to you
So oh great reservoir
Fill us up someday
All the worlds talking
Silver tongue imposters
Got me turning off, away from the screen
Maybe I could move I could bend and not break
And I could find my back to you
Oh great reservoir
We come to where you are
Need to fill our cup
Fill us up someday
Oh how lost we are
Here among the stars
I see how water moves
How it finds it way to you
Oh how great thou art
Hidden reservoir
Show us where you are
Fill us up someday
