Beneath Water

------------verse 1------------ So scratch away the sand stuck in your ears Water all the crops with showers of tears Tell all those baby's mothers they don't need no fear 'Cause God's got their hearts in his hands And we'll ask all of the painters if they dressed in white To walk around the streets, in the dead of the night Dance like guests at a wedding underneath the lights Look at the buildings and say "I touched that" ----------Pre-Chorus---------- Oh we always wanna brag... Oh we always wanna brag... So just hold me, underneath the water 'till the Old me, dies and slips out of this Body, Rip him out of my body And make me new again ------------verse 2------------ Well maybe I'm the writer that will spark that flame That makes the world believe in the right kind of faith But perhaps, I need to get these feet off stage And find a smaller pair of shoes to fill What I know is that my father's only son said "There'll be time for sleep when the work is done" Keep your pedal to the floor until the race is won What if the race is not a race at all Don't you crash into a tree? Don't you crash into a tree... So just hold me, underneath the water 'till the Old me, dies and slips out of this Body, Rip him out of my body And make me new again (2x) ------------Bridge------------ He spoke his words to me like well driven nails They sank like wind to rain to my rusty sails The sailor's hands took flight and hung in the sky Below a celebration that land's in sight My heart puffs with pride, as I'm defined In the center of the room filled with all your eyes Leading me to believe that I'm so fresh and revised But God I'm nothing if I don't have you... I'm nothing (I AM) I'm nothing (I'M NOT A THING) I'm nothing (I AM!) I met my brother in a hallway Said he loved Jesus and I said "I think I do too" I met my brother in a hallway I met my brother in a hallway And said hold me, underneath the water 'till the Old me, dies and slips out of this Body, Rip him out of my body And make me new again (x2)
