The page contains the lyrics of the song "Horse To The Water" by George Harrison.

Lyrics

You can take a horse to the water
but you can’t make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
A friend of mine in so much misery
Some people sail through life, but he has struck a reef
I said «Hey man let’s go out and get some wisdom»
But first he turned on me, then he turned off his nervous system
You take a horse to water but
you can’t make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no You can have it all laid/staked out in front
of you but it still don’t make you think
Oh no, oh no, oh no Someone I love is gotta problem
Some people thirst for truth, but he would like a drink
I said «Hey man this could turn out to be risky»
He said «Everything's ok» as he downed another bottle of whiskey
There’s a preacher out there warned me about Satan
Could be that he knows him
Cause' He acts like he’s possessed
I said «Hey man let’s hear about God realisation
For a change»
he said «We ain’t got time for that
First you must hear the evils of fornication»
