You're at the fountain springing life eternal
Cleansing everlasting water so fine

And leave your soul so satisfied

Cleansing everlasting water so fine

Meaning & Inspiration
You're At The Well draws on the picture of living water to invite listeners to come and drink. The chorus urges the listener to draw the water and drink the wine at a fountain springing with eternal life and cleansing water. The verses promise that the well quenches thirst, leaves the soul satisfied and has a limitless supply, and tell anyone who took a wrong turn that the right road leads to the well.
The imagery comes from John 4:13-14, where Jesus offers water that becomes a spring of eternal life, and Isaiah 55:1 and John 7:37, which invite the thirsty to come and drink. The closing lines say the well is getting deeper and sweeter, and the final call is that it is time to come back. The upbeat, repeated chorus makes the song lively and easy to sing along to.
