Fountain

A.D. Small 1987 (Indiana)

Fountain

When you're on that snow capped mountain
And life feels real and strong
Tell me when you've found the fountain
And how it made you belong

I want to believe in myself
and God knows I'm trying
But even with the best health
Humans on this world keep dying

I want to jump in that clear water
Only if it could bring back the youth
Would it make my blood boil hotter
Would it really bring me that proof

Where is this fountain of yours
Is it really holy
I would run the course
Because you're my one and only
