jane siberry – walk on water (2009) lyrics
[verse 1]
i was standing at the back of a crowd
at the edge of the sea, a multitude
a single word
a hush would fall
[verse 2]
i prayed that your gaze might fall on me
that my longing might part the sea of faces
and in my misery
i turned and walked away
[chorus]
come up, my brother
come up, my sister
come up, my children
and walk on water with me
[verse 3]
i walked away from that crowd
out along a long and dusty road
i saw a woman lying there in pain
she was crying out to me
[verse 4]
i was so absorbed in my own loneliness
are you not my brother? i guess not yet
oh, to turn back the hands of time
drowning in my shame
[chorus]
come up, my brother
come up, my sister
come up, my children
and walk on water with me
[verse 5]
i can’t
i, i
i can’t
[verse 6]
i’d give anything to touch your gown
to kiss your hand, anything
i knelt down in hopelessness
hopelessness, hopelessness
[verse 7]
i’d give anything to hear your voice
to wash your feet, anything
i knelt down in helplessness
and then i felt virtue flow to me
[chorus]
i heard, come up, my brother
i heard, come up, my sister
come up, my children
and walk on water with me
[verse 8]
oh, that was the night of nights
i stood against the sea in that strange starlight
i felt the wind upon my face
i thought i heard my name
[outro]
i thought i heard our names
