Bm
We are the sons and the daughters
A
We gotta stand up and make it loud
E
Just like our God told the Pharaoh
G
"Let my people go, go"

Bm
We are a new generation
A
From the ones who have come before
E
He's calling us into freedom
G
Let my people go, go

[Chorus]
Bm
Wade in the water
      A
We dey wade in the water
        E
Children wade in the water
 G
God's gonna trouble the water

Bm
Wade in the water
      A
We dey wade in the water
        E
Children wade in the water
 G
God's gonna trouble the water
