Lyrics

I Come from the Water

I come from the water
I crawled upon the shore
I left my brothers there
I got what I came for

I sucked that hot air in
And rolled upon the sand
And burned beneath the sun
To be a man

I come from the water
I come from the water
I come from the water
I come
From
The water yeah!

I come from the water
That weren't no easy thing
It's more than nature
It's like my destiny

I stood upon these legs
And held my head up high
Emerged beneath the sun
To start a new life

I come from the water
I come from the water
I come from the water
I come
From
The water yeah!

Life in the desert
Just to be together
The sand forever
The same forever
It moves beneath me,
It pulls my body
My pulse beats hotter,
So far from the water

I love to see the sun
In spite of all it's done
I pray for shade and rain
I pray to live again

I come from the water
I come from the water
I come from the water
I come from the water
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

I come from the water
I come from the water
I come from the water
Oh
Oh
Owwh
