Going Down to the Water

Going Down to the Water
(Gloria Attoun)
2:12
The sun’s coming up with the sound of creation
Going down to the water and we won’t look back.
Been waiting for this day with hope and elation, Going down....
Down to the pathway side by side, gonna go to where the water gets wide
Coming in and going out with the tide, Going down.....

Our legs are short; it’s gonna take awhile, Going down.....
We’re gonna make the journey if it’s a hundred miles, Going down ...
Find what we need along the way, be here now, forget yesterday
Tilt our heads goodbye to the ones who stay, Going down.....

We were once small, and now we’ve grown, Going down......
Time for us to find a place to call our own, Going down.....
Frogs in the duckweed, sticks and snakes, bask in the sun; rest in the shade
Shout hurray because we’ve got it made, Going down.....

When the night comes don’t worry your mind, Going down.....
Sleep in the bush and we’ll be fine, Going down.....
When the daylight comes, you’ll know it’s true, there’s nothing better you can do
And then you’ll come down to the water too, Going down....
