How Deep Is the Well - Percy Mayfield

Everyone knows how he feels within

And if he has a conscious he knows when he sins

'Cause only you can tell, how deep is the well

'Cause the well is the soul of a man

He picks out the car, well then make him a slave

True love is given only hearts that are brave

So only you can tell, how deep is the well

'Cause the well is the soul of a man

The world gives you back, what you give to the world

If you give love, you will get love in return

But if you give the world hate, well, somehow through fate

Hate is bound to be your ruin, your ruin

If you were to tell me that you are my friend

And if you don’t mean it, you will know from within

'Cause only you can tell, how deep is the well

'Cause the well is the soul of a man

If you were to tell me that you are my friend

And if you don’t mean it, you will know from within

'Cause only you can tell, how deep is the well

'Cause the well is the soul of a man
