Gotta get back to the well
We gotta get back to the well
Have you tried it on your own
But every time you fail
Gotta get back to the well
We gotta get back to the well
Is there no fire in your bones
Is it hard for you to feel
Gotta get back to the well
We gotta get back to the well
Are you hungry, thirsty, wondering and searching
There is a well, sure to satisfy
Are you needy, weary, so tired of being empty
Every day, you?re barely getting by
There?s a well to satisfy
There?s a well to satisfy
Time to lay down the excuse
For the idols that we built
It?s time to get back to the well
It?s time to get back to the well
We?ve been running around too long
Chasing time, and empty thrills
It?s time to get back to the well
It?s time to get back to the well
I know, I know, I know
There?s a well to satisfy
We?ll build my alter where there?s living water
We?ll satisfy, you will satisfy
I will build my alter where there?s living water
We?ll satisfy, you will satisfy

Housefires featuring Nate Moore sing 'Get Back To The Well,' a song about returning to God as the source of spiritual refreshment. The lyrics describe the exhaustion of trying to find fulfillment in personal effort, idols, and empty pursuits. The well represents Jesus, the living water who alone can satisfy deep hunger and thirst. The song encourages listeners to lay down excuses and build an altar of worship at the place of living water. It speaks to those feeling weary, empty, and barely getting by, offering a simple invitation to come back to the source of true satisfaction.
