Water's Way

When U look upon the water

When the sun shines all day

Dive into the deepness darkness

Feel your soul slipping away

God's light is pure in the water's way

His light is life in the river's flow

The glassy streams flow endlessly

Across the face of our disgrace

But our water runs...

Our water runs...

But our water runs ...

The water runs black

If we dump all our sin onto the shore

It goes into the river & back 2 my door

I'd love 2 C the sky at my window

U never know what can go with the flow

Life was grand some time ago

But it's been this way 4 as long as I know

I'd love 2 C the blue in the sky

But the weather man says I'm gonna die

And the river runs black - in my outback

I'm walkin' in the rain & it burns my skin

Runnin' in my eyes & I start 2 cry

Cuz I know it's my fault & it's your fault 2

4 all the stupid things that we shouldn't do

We have wasted this earth

And we can't turn away

4 the damage we have done the innocent will pay

We close our eyes

And say it isn't there

While our world melts away & we die in despair

We are drowning in our garbage

& the filth our hands have made

And the money can't replace

The price that must B paid

We have fallen short

Of our duty here on earth

We were taught 2 waste the world

From our death 2 our birth

God has placed a price on the head of every man

All have been made guilty

2 the end of this land

Apathy or arrogance

Won't turn our deeds away

We have loosed the damage

And our deeds have gone astray

From Voltaire 2 Hitler every ear that's heard

From Chernobyl to Quindaro

Christ will have the last word

So now let's work together

All of the saints pray 4 the weather

I want 2 C another clear day

All the saints on your knees 2 pray

Petition God, petition man

Let's work together try to save this land

Forgive me God for the sincerity I lack

But the water runs black in my outback
