[Chorus]

We drain the water with the babes

To drown the grief we drown the gain

We drain the water with the babes

To flee the scene of our mistakes

[Verse 1]

Sing the sorrow, we lament

Cast wishes like copper pence into

Ancient fountains of regret

Wishing that we could take it back

[Pre-Chorus]

But just wait for me

I come not to erase but be

Wait for me

The purpose from the pain

[Chorus]

We drain the water with the babes

To drown the grief we drown the gain

We drain the water with the babes

To flee the scene of our mistakes

[Verse 2]

What if you could take it back?

What if we had never met and we

Annihilate our brokenness?

Would we lose our greatest gift?

[Pre-Chorus]

But just wait for me

I come not to erase but be

Wait for me

The purpose from the pain

[Chorus]

We drain the water with the babes

To drown the grief we drown the gain

We drain the water with the babes

To flee the scene of our mistakes

[Chorus 2]

We won't drain the water with the babes

In this grief we find the greatest gain

We won't drain the water with the babes

You were made the purpose from the pain
