I dream to cross the water
There yonder lies a valley
With a mountain creek

I want to drink the water
Of that mountain stream
I yearn for freshness there

It’s said to restore my youth
And make me whole again
But how to cross the water?

If you’re old and crippled
The valley is too far away
And no need if you are young

So who will drink the water?
