Carrie Underwood – Something in the Water Lyrics

He said, “I’ve been where you’ve been before.
Down every hallway’s a slamming door.”¹
No way out, no one to come and save me
Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me

Then somebody said what I’m saying to you²
Opened my eyes and told me the truth.
They said, “Just a little faith,³ it’ll all get better.”
So I followed that preacher man down to the river⁴

And now I’m changed
And now I’m stronger

There must’ve been something in the water
Oh, there must’ve been something in the water

Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way⁵
Didn’t think about it for a couple of days
Then it hit me like a lightning⁶ late one night
I was all out of hope and all out of fight

Couldn’t fight back the tears so I fell on my knees
Saying, “God, if you’re there come and rescue me.”⁷
Felt love pouring down from above⁸
Got washed in the water, washed in the blood⁹

And now I’m changed
And now I’m stronger¹⁰

There must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water¹¹

And now I’m singing along to amazing grace¹²
Can’t nobody wipe this smile off my face
Got joy in my heart, angels on my side
Thank God almighty, I saw the light¹³
Gonna look ahead, no turning back
Live everyday, give it all that I have
Trust in someone bigger than me¹⁴
Ever since the day that I believed

I am changed
And now I’m stronger

There must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water

Oh, yeah I am changed
Stronger¹⁵
