Oh brother the water is rising on me
Oh cease to my sorrow has filled up the sea
The time is will changing, I dream I was free
But brother the water still rising on me
The way of this mountains too heavy for me
Oh father these mountains too heavy for me
But I'll keep on walking till I rinse my feet
Until in the water still rising on me
Oh brother the water is rising on me
Oh cease to my sorrow has filled up the sea
The time that will changing, One day I'll be free
But brother the water still rising on me
I flew like the sparrow into the sun
I march with the others to my race was done
I saw all the children and dream they were free
And all of their troubles swept by the sea
All of their troubles was swept by the sea
