You can lead a horse to water
But you can't make it drink
You can tell someone the Truth
But you can't change how they think
You can buy a man his dinner
You can teach him how to fish
If his rod stays in the closet
He'll have an empty dish
You can show someone the Way
But you can't make him follow
You can teach and preach all day
But your words may all ring hollow
If your walk don't match your talk
If your audience is deaf
If they don't heed the call
Their time may not be yet
Keep bringing the horse to water
Keep casting out your line
Keep giving good directions
It's just a matter of time
Until that spark ignites
"Til the bright light bulb goes on
The mind opens, the vision clears
The hungry heart responds
Lead that horse to water
He who thirsts will drink
Just keep doing what you're doing
Don't even pause to blink.
