Blue Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now a man ain't suppose to cry
But with all this pain inside
All my eyes can see is blue water
No the world ain't suppose to be
Just a drowning sea
There's more for you and me than blue water
Yeah, let's make our morning bright
And I know we're bound to see tomorrow clearly in our sight
Girl, take my hand, tell me you understand
'Cause we don't need to stand in blue water
Now life is a one time trip
And we've got to build our ship
So we won't ever slip into blue water
All you got to do is let yourself go
Just let it over flow
'Cause that river in your soul is just blue water
Yeah, let's make our morning fun
And I know we're bound to see tomorrow clearly in our sight
Girl, take my hand, tell me you understand
'Cause we don't need to stand in blue water
Go dry your tears and try to realize
There's more to what you see
If you open up your eyes
Yeah, it's gonna be alright
I know you're gonna see tomorrow clearly in our sight
Girl, take my hand, tell me that you understand
'Cause we don't need to stand in blue water
We don't need to stand in blue water
Girl, oh, tell me that you understand
We don't need to stand in blue water
Yeah, oh, tell me that you understand
We don't need to stand in blue water
Take my hand, oh, tell me that you understand
'Cause we don't need to stand in blue water
