[Intro] We buried her at Kadesh in the first month of the year. She sang when the sea went over. There was no water here. [Verse 1] We laid her in the Kadesh ground. We hadn't washed the dirt from our hands when they came crowding round the tent, cursing the dust and cursing the land. No figs, no vines, no pomegranates, no water for the children or the herd. You should have let us die with our brothers. Forty years, and the same old word. [Pre-Chorus] Aaron and I went down on our faces, and the glory stood on the tent like noon. Take the rod, He said, and gather them. Speak to the rock and it will pour for you. [Chorus] Speak to the rock. That's all He said. Speak to the rock. I struck it twice. The water ran and the whole camp drank, and I won't cross over. That's the price. One word would have done it. One word. I gave them the rod instead. [Verse 2] I stood them all before the rock with the rod from the tent in my fist. Listen, you rebels, I heard myself say, do we've to squeeze water from this? And I brought it down, and I brought it down, and the water came out white and loud, and the cattle drank and the children drank, and God spoke to me alone in the crowd. [Chorus] Speak to the rock. That's all He said. Speak to the rock. I struck it twice. The water ran and the whole camp drank, and I won't cross over. That's the price. One word would have done it. One word. I gave them the rod instead. [Bridge] Edom met us with swords at the border. I had asked like a brother. They said no. Then I took my brother up Mount Hor with his son, and the camp watching below. I lifted the robe from Aaron's shoulders and laid it on Eleazar, his son. My brother died on the mountain top, and two came down where three had gone. [Final Chorus] Speak to the rock. That's all He said. Speak to the rock. I struck it twice. The water ran and the whole camp drank, and I won't cross over. That's the price. One word would have done it. One word. I gave them the rod instead.
