Something in the Water Lyrics


He said, "I've been where you've been before.
Down every hallway's a slamming door."
No way out, no one to come and save me
Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me

Then somebody said what I'm saying to you
Opened my eyes and told me the truth."
They said, "Just a little faith, it'll all get better."
So I followed that preacher man down to the river

And now I'm changed
And now I'm stronger

There must've been Something in the Water
Oh, there must've been something in the water

Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way
Didn't think about it for a couple of days
Then it hit me like a lightning late one night
I was all out of hope and all out of fight

Couldn't fight back the tears so I fell on my knees
Saying, "God, if you're there come and rescue me."
Felt love pouring down from above
Got washed in the water, washed in the blood

And now I'm changed
And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water

And now I'm singing along to amazing grace
Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face
Got joy in my heart, angels on my side
Thank God almighty, I saw the light
Gonna look ahead, no turning back
Live everyday, give it all that I have
Trust in someone bigger than me
Ever since the day that I believed

I am changed
And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water

Oh, yeah I am changed
Stronger

Something in the Water Song Chart
  • A brand new song included on Carrie Underwood's Greatest Hits: Decade #1 album, this was released as a single on September 29, 2014. "It's really kind of a joyous, uplifting song about changing your life for the better and kind of having that 'a-ha' moment," Underwood explained, "to waking up and your life being different from that moment forward."
  • Carrie Underwood wrote the song along with Chris DeStefano ("Good Girl") and Brett James ("Cowboy Casanova"). The singer's longtime producer Mark Bright was the guy behind the console.

    DeStefano told Taste of Country the song came together easily in one writing session. "Going in to write with Carrie, it's always an adventure, because obviously she can do so many different things stylistically," he said. "I had this little musical idea I brought in. It was basically just a lot of instruments, and the vibe was kinda there. It just had an emotion to it. I started playing it in the room for Brett and Carrie, and I remember saying, 'Well, you guys are hopefully gonna like this, or hate it.'"

    The other writers did like DeStefano's idea, and it was Underwood who provided the song's title. "She said, 'I have this song title, 'Something in the Water,' and she kind of explained what she wanted to write about, and we were just immediately like, 'Oh gosh, that would really be beautiful over this,'" DeStefano recalled. "So we immediately knew. It was just one of those things where the whole vibe of the song really began at that point, really strong right from the get-go."
  • 'There must be something in the water' is a humorous way of accounting for unusual or eccentric behavior. Other songs utilizing the phrase include:

    "Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)" by Prince (A bluesy funk cut from the Purple maestro's 1999 album.)

    "Something in the Water" by Brooke Fraser (The lead single from Brooke Fraser's Flags album, it topped the New Zealand singles charts in 2010.)

    "California Gurls" by Katy Perry (Includes the lyric: "I know a place. Where the grass is really greener. Warm, wet n' wild. There must be something in the water.")
  • The song finds Underwood revisiting the turning to God of her hit single "Jesus, Take The Wheel." In this instance she is singing about water baptism.

    I followed that preacher man down to the river
    And now I'm changed
    And now I'm stronger
    There must've been something in the water
  • We hear Underwood testifying to "singing along to 'Amazing Grace" adding that "no one can wipe this smile off my face." Later on she belts out a few lines from the classic hymn.
  • Here are three more songs about baptism:

    "Take Me to the River" by Al Green

    "Changed" by Rascal Flatts

    "Rebirthing" by Skillet
  • The immersion in or sprinkling with water as a religious rite of initiation was practiced long before the beginning of Christianity. Here's some baptism trivia:

    St. Augustine laid the foundations for infant baptism. He taught that people are born with an affinity for sin and as descendants of Adam and Eve share in the guilt of original sin. Therefore he believed infant baptism was important.

    The Anabaptists were one of the first groups during the Reformation to reject infant baptism and practice the baptism of adults upon confession of faith. These brave Christians were often drowned by their persecutors as the authorities supposed if they wanted to be fully immersed- let them!

    A Swedish pastor was electrocuted as he stood in a pool of water for a baptism ceremony, when one of his assistants handed him a live microphone.

    The priest at young Boris Yeltsen’s christening was so drunk that he dropped baby Boris into the font then forgot he was there. (Source The Encyclopedia of Trivia ).
  • This became Underwood's 14th #1 on the country chart following her performance of the song during the 2014 CMA Awards .
  • This won the 2014 Grammy Award for Best Country Solo Performance.
  • The song's music clip was directed by Raj Kapoor and won both Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year at the 2015 CMT Awards. Underwood also won Collaborative Video of the Year for "Somethin' Bad" with Miranda Lambert at the same ceremony.
