He said, "I've been where you've been before

Down every hallway's a slamming door

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 you

Opened my eyes and told me the truth"

They said, "Just a little faith, it'll all get better"

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 way

Felt love pouring down from above

Got washed in the water, washed in the blood and

Oh there must've been something in the water

And now I'm singing all along to Amazing Grace

Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face

Got joy in my heart, angels on my side

Thank God almighty, I saw the light, Gonna look ahead

No turning back, live everyday, give it all that I have

Trusted someone bigger than me

Ever since the day that I believed I am changed

And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water

(Amazing grace)

Oh, there must be something in the water

(How sweet the sound)

Oh, there must be something in the water

(That saved a wretch)

Oh, there must be something in the water (like me)

Oh, once was lost

But now I'm found

Was blind, but now

I see
