Rising Waters

You’ll get by
And so will we
It may not be the world we knew
Some say it’s too late
We’ve set the course somehow
We’re in it now

The waters are rising
The waters are rising around me
There’s a storm outside but inside
The trouble won’t let me be
We’re running blind
How much longer ‘til we see
That oh, oh the waters are rising

Watch the West burn
On a handheld TV screen
As we’re drowning in the mud
What have we done
That we must choose
Between a fire and a flood

The waters are rising
The waters are rising around me
There’s a storm outside but inside
The trouble won’t let me be
We’re running blind
How much longer ‘til we see
That oh, oh the waters are rising

Let the rains come down
And the stars shine
Whatever truth may come
It’s a fate that we designed

The waters are rising
The waters are rising around me
There’s a storm outside but inside
The trouble won’t let me be
We’re running blind
How much longer ‘til we see
That oh, oh the waters are rising

The waters are rising
The waters are rising around me
There’s a storm outside but inside
The trouble won’t let me be
We’re running blind
How much longer ‘til we see
That oh, oh the waters are rising
