Washing Of The Water Lyrics

Actually, this makes me think of "It's a Wonderful Life" With George Bailey standing on that bridge, ready to jump into the river.

It's a decision point, will he wash away his pain, or wash away his life? Water can do one metaphorically, and one literally.

What can turn a person around? Hope. Or just the decision not to jump. Sometimes, it can be harder to choose to let go of the pain, to choose to live.
