Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see your eyes light up like fire
It's medicine to me
But as the hunted live their lives
You're keeping out of reach
[Verse 2]
So I keep running, falling
'Til I reach the water
Run with me, holy man
When I reach out, I find I'm
Standing right beside her
Now we're living, blessed with all the thunder in the world
[Verse 3]
Should you ask me to come home
To wake up from the sleep
Like a boat inside a storm
Is there no hope for me?
[Verse 4]
So I keep running, falling
Wade into the water
Run with me river mac
But when I reach out, I find I'm
Standing right beside her
Now we're living, blessed with all the thunder in the world
[Verse 5]
So I keep running, falling
'Til I reach the water
Run with me, holy man
And when I reach out, I find I'm
Standing right beside her
Now we're living, blessed with all the thunder in the world
