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
