He said, "I've been where you've been before Down every hallway's a slamming door No way out, no one to come and save me Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave you There's somebody saying what I'm saying to you Open my eyes and told me truth He said: "Just a little faith and it'll all get better" So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I'm changed And now I'm stronger There must've been something in the water Oh, there must've been something in the water Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way Didn't think about it for a couple of days Then it hit me like a lightning late one night I was all out of hoping, all out of fight Couldn't fight back my tears so I fell on my knees Saying, "God, if you're there come and rescue me" Fell all pouring down from my dress Gotta wash in the water, wash in the blur and now I'm changed And now I'm stronger There must've been something in the water Oh there must've been something in the water And now I'm singing all along to amazing race Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face Got joy in my heart, angels on my side Thinking about it, I saw the heart and looked their head No turning back, leave everyday, give it all that I have Trusted someone bigger than me Ever since the day that I believed I am changed And now I'm stronger There must be been something in the water Oh there must be something in the water Oh there must be something in the water Oh there must be something in the water Oh yeah I'm stronger Stronger I'm free
