WalK Into The Water - Bittersweet

Bittersweet
James Woolsey, Notes From Home Publishing Co, BMI

The poor keep getting poorer while the rich keep getting richer
That’s a fact of life, so it seems
They raise their greed on high, and they horde up all their treasure,
But that don’t buy their way to Eternity

CHORUS
You can pray God takes you in your sleep,
or wash you sin down to the deep
Set your soul on fire, make the wind rage even higher
Life is what you make it Bittersweet

You can spend your whole life tryin to have more than your neighbor
But brother that’s no good so let it be
It it’s true from the other side that grass is always greener
Will you pay the price to go and see

CHORUS
You can pray God takes you in your sleep,
or wash you sin down to the deep
Set your soul on fire, make the wind rage even higher
Life is what you make it Bittersweet

Now mother take your hurt and go and show your children
So they can love and understand your pain
Father take the word and go and give them wisdom
That they may choose the son to light the way

CHORUS
