[Lyric] Waters Tall Strong (Sonny and the Sunshine Bandits)

[Verse 1]
Was I afraid of waters tall and strong
Cus’ when they came the sirens sang won’t you come back home? But I’ve got no home and no comfort but You
Still I’ve been buying my time instead of paying my dues
I was praying for the water to be gone
All the while You bid me keep rowing on

[Verse 2]
Awake, awake from Your sleeping eyes
To see the prayers of my troubles that weigh so heavy on my mind
Sometime ago You built this boat for me
Now in the troubling waters dare I ask You why it leaks

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been shaking here in the cold
Wondering if You could еver calm a storm

[Chorus]
Oh these watеrs tall and strong bring a weariness to my bones
If e’er I reach the other side I’ll build an altar on that shore
And generations come will sing songs of eternal love
Till that day I’m praying my hope holds on
Oh these waters tall and strong bring a weariness to my bones
And the fears of mine say I’ll never shake the cold
Maybe through the wind I could see a distant shore
But we both know that I don't want to carry on, anymore
[Verse 3]
Awake, awake bring close Your distant ears
To hear the prayers of my troubles and the burdens of my fears Now this boat wasn’t made to hold a gallon more
Of the water from this sea and the dreary blowing storm

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been shaking here in the cold
Wondering if You could ever calm a storm

[Chorus]
Oh these waters tall and strong bring a weariness to my bones
If e’er I reach the other side I’ll build an altar on that shore
And generations come will sing songs of eternal love
Till that day I’m praying my hope holds on
Oh these waters tall and strong bring a weariness to my bones
And the fears of mine say I’ll never shake the cold
Maybe through the wind I could see a distant shore
But we both know that I don't want to carry on, anymore

[Chorus 2]
Oh those waters tall and strong brought a weariness to my bones Now that I’ve reached the other side I’ll build an altar on this shore And generations come will sing songs of eternal love
Cus’ in this world surely there ain't no other hope
