Walk On Water (2016)

Jane Siberry

[Intro]
Hey, yeah
Ooh, yeah

[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) 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 (My sister)
Come up my children (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
She was lying there in pain
Crying out to me

[Verse 4]
But I was so absorbed
In my own loneliness (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 (My brother)
Come up my sister (My sister)
Come up my children (My children)
And walk on water with me
(Come on)

[Verse 5]
I’d give anything (I'd give anything) to hear your voice
To touch your hand, your hem, anything
I knelt down in hopelessness
Hopelessness, hopelessness (Ah)

[Verse 6]
I’d give everything to feel your grace (Feel your grace)
To wash your feet, kiss your hem, anything
I knelt down in thankfulness (Thankfulness)
And then I felt virtue flow to me

[Chorus]
I heard, come up my brother (Come up my brother)
I heard, come up my sister (Come up my sister)
Come up my children (Come up my children)
And walk on water with me

[Verse 7]
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 my name (Our names)
Our names, our names
Our names, our names
