歌词
[Verse 1]
Oh, oh deep water
Black and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I've run a twisted mile
I'm a stranger in the eyes of The Maker
[Verse 2]
I could not see, for the fog in my eyes
And I could not feel, for the fear in my life
But from across the great divide
In the distance, I saw light
Jean Baptiste walking to me with The Maker
[Verse 3]
My body is bent and broken
By long and dangerous seas
But I can't work the fields of Abraham
And turn my head away
I'm not a stranger in the hands of The Maker
[Verse 4]
Brother John, have you seen the homeless daughters
Standing there with broken wings?
Well, I have seen the flaming sword
There, over east of Eden
Burning in the eyes of The Maker
[Verse 5]
Burning in the eyes of The Maker
Burning in the eyes of The Maker
[Verse 6]
Oh, river rise from your sleep
Oh, river rise from your sleep
Oh, river rise from your sleep
