From the Water

Ohhh, we come from the water Ohhh, give it away Ohhh, we come from the water Ohhh, give it away Big river rising fast tonight. Inch by inch the banks will disappear. The big wind and the trees will start to fight. The storm upstream is heading here. I come from the water! It's pulling me under! The river is stronger, take me away! My sons and my daughters, We come from the water. Go back to your mother Give it away! Low tide, I saw the ocean slip away, It left a pool of water stranded on the shore. As I walked along the edge I saw the phosphorescent light Of creatures calling for the place they were before. I come from the water! It's pulling me under! The river is stronger, take me away! My sons and my daughters, We come from the water. Go back to your mother Give it away! Stretch your feet like a child to the water Run to the breakers, they crash on your shoulders! Mama open your arms to the body I give to the river Cover me over! Stretch your feet like a child to the water Run to the breakers, they crash on your shoulders! Mama open your arms to the body I give to the river Cover me over! Stretch your feet like a child to the water Run to the breakers, they crash on your shoulders! Mama open your arms to the body I give to the river Cover me over! I come from the water! It's pulling me under! The river is stronger, take me away! My sons and my daughters, We come from the water. Go back to your mother Give it away! Ohhh, we come from the water Ohhh, give it away Ohhh, we come from the water Ohhh, give it away
