Take me to the water
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
To be baptized
None but the righteous

Shall be saved
So take me to the water
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
To be, to be baptized
I'm going back home, going back home
Gonna stay here no longer
I'm going back home, going back home
To be baptized
