Drink Deep
Drink Deep
Words & Music by Scott Krippayne, Tony Wood, & Steve Siler
Weep if you want to
You don’t have to put a brave face on for me
Rage if you’re angry
This is not the time to keep things nice and neat
Though it seems today like you could never heal
There’s no way to escape the things you feel
so
Drink deep of the sorrow
Drink deep of the pain
Don’t let anybody tell you
to get out of the rain
This is your cup
and you’re the one who has to drink
Though the taste may go down bitterly
Drink deep
Stare at the pictures
Feel the ache of better days gone by
Wrestle the questions
It’s OK to keep on asking why
There’ll be those who try to rush you through the grief
But I’m here to say take all the time you need
to
Drink deep of the sorrow
Drink deep of the pain
Don’t let anybody tell you
to get out of the rain
This is your cup
and you’re the one who has to drink
Though the taste may go down bitterly
Drink deep
There’s no way around the valley
But on the other side of darkness there is light, so
Drink deep of the sorrow
Drink deep of the pain
Don’t let anybody tell you
to get out of the rain
This is your cup
and you’re the one who has to drink
‘til the taste of bitter turns to bittersweet

I am so impressed by the words of these songs, especially Drink Deep . The songs are like a conversation between friends—just a simple description of feelings and emotions. They aren’t even like typical lyrics—just such “raw” emotional statements—language we can understand from our “guts”.
