[Verse 1]
Someone said, "Drink the water"
But I will drink the wine
Someone said, "Take a poor man
Rich don't have a dime"

[Chorus]
So fool yourselves if you will
I just haven't got the time
Yes, you can drink the water
But I will drink the wine

[Verse 2]
Someone gave me some small flowers
I held them in my hand
I looked at them for several hours
I didn't understand

[Chorus]
So fool yourselves if you will
You can hold out your hand
I'll give you back your flowers
And I will take the land
And I will drink the wine

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I'm very, very lonely
There's only me to care
And when I'm very, very lonely
I want someone to share
[Bridge]
I'm gonna drink the wine
I'm gonna take my time
And believe in a world that is mine

[Verse 4]
Someone gave me flowers
Held them in my hand
Looked at them for many hours
Didn't understand

[Chorus]
Go on and fool yourselves if you will
You can hold out your hands
I'll give you back your flowers
And I will take the land
And I will drink the wine

[Outro]
And I will take the land
I will drink the wine
