There I was, now here I am I got off track, I made mistakes Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost Lines get crossed And the pain won't go away I hit my knees, now here I stand I came up out of the water Raise my hands up to the father

The story is a sad one, told many times The story of my life in trying times Just add water, stir in lime How the west was won and where it got us Blood from a stone Water from wine Born under an ill-placed design A stroke of bad luck, Wrong place, wrong

You're a waterfall washing over me I'm a thirsty man let me drink you in I am on my way You're a mountain top When I reach for you Your love lifts me up And all that I want is to be Where you are There you are standing strong

There I was, now here I am I got off track, I made mistakes Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost Lines get crossed And the pain won't go away I hit my knees, now here I stand I came up out of the water Raise my hands up to the father

The nature of your beauty puts my mind at ease I wanna slow it down where the water’s deep Get that Northern healing washing over me Made me better man And it’s plain to see And I’m humbled in the presence of your majesty

But now I'm dead in the water Time washing over Where are you now? You know it weighs me down Pressure building all around You said you'd never let me drown The sacrifice Sinking till I'm out of sight You said you'd bring me back to life

There I was, now here I am I got off track, I made mistakes Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost Lines get crossed And the pain won't go away I hit my knees, now here I stand I came up out of the water Raise my hands up to the father

Let the only sound Be the overflow Lay me down Pockets full of stones Time it took us To where the water was That's what the water gave me And time goes quicker Between the two of us

Remember me: I gave you life You would not take it Your suffering was all in vain It's almost over now Don't turn your back on Paradise The water's edge is where she waits Lost soul still wandering Meant to die, but she's stuck not crossing over

There I was, now here I am I got off track, I made mistakes Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost Lines get crossed And the pain won't go away I hit my knees, now here I stand I came up out of the water Raise my hands up to the father
