JJ Heller's song 'The Well' is a reflective Christian piece about recognizing the emptiness of worldly pursuits and finding true satisfaction in God. The lyrics describe a person who chased dreams and followed their heart, only to end up broken and lost. The metaphor of a well that never runs dry represents God's endless love and provision, offering hope and restoration even in the desert of life. The song gently encourages listeners to turn from futile endeavors and seek the living water that only God provides, bringing peace and wholeness to the soul.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I bought into the lie
And I spent all my gold
When I feel half alive
How will I ever be whole?
And I bartered my dreams for glitter and smoke
I was rich as a king
But my heart was broke
You are
You are the well
You are the well that never runs dry
[x2]
I followed my heart
But it led me astray
I should not have gone
But I went anyway
Now I find myself here
All battered and bruised
I was chasing the wind
I should have been chasing you
Oh, I should have been chasing you
You are
You are the well
You are the well that never runs dry
[x2]
Here in the desert
Out in the wasteland
Nothing but sand and stone
There is a river
There is a fountain
Deep enough for every soul
Deep enough for every soul
You are
You are the well
You are the well that never runs dry
[x2]
That never runs dry
That never runs dry
Uh Oh, You are the well that never runs dry
