[Verse 1]
In the water, they sort it out
They were waist to neck in December somehow
In the water, they twist and shout
They were born again, so they can start living now
In the water, they saw the face
Of the man who once owned it, ashamed and disgraced
In the water, they asked them both
"How did you get the gold without digging any holes?"

[Chorus]
Never had it any other way
Drowning in the praise
Never had a chance to break apart
Hard for them to see
What's really in this place, now

[Verse 2]
"Hide your daughters", the old men say
You were young once before, you know how we get our way
Feel the horror with no delay
We all see what once was beautiful has turned and old and grey

[Chorus]
Never had it any other way
Drowning in the praise
Never had a chance to break apart
Hard for them to see
It's really a disgrace
[Bridge]
I can't think it enough
Can't say it enough
Can't do it enough
I can't make it enough
Can't fake it enough
I don't want it enough
So everyone'll wait

[Instrumental riff]

[Chorus]
Never had it any other way
Drowning in the grace
Never had a chance to break apart
Hard for them to see
It's really in its place

[Outro]
I can't say it enough
Can't sing it enough
So I'll find another way

[Postlude: Old man]
And we sing this morning that wonderful and grand ol' message
And I don't know about you, I never get tired of it
Numbe-
[Robotic voice:]
The seven years
The seven years
The seven years
The seven years
The seven years
The seven years
The seven years
