I found that I find the things that you find Important rather peculiar The space in between between you and me Has grown darker and deep and bigger Were it not for the knots that we tied long and taught We might not be hanging around At opposite ends of a towering span Over troubled waters below Down a raging river with a deadly undertow We circled the moat and you rocked the boat Like a mighty leviathan of old With cracks in our feet we beat foreign streets We got stranded, we canvassed for answers But the prayers we prayed fell silent and straight No a savior won't save when commanded So we marched through the dark With cast-iron hearts And all the strength we could muster With torches in hand we surveyed the land And stumble one after the other Damned with blind ambition To a glass house miles below And the garden did grow some roots down in droves And blocked out the sun while it shone You tied a rope 'round my finger You hoped for a dead ringer Yeah you draped it over a towering oak But the rain came down with a furious sound And rusted that belt until it broke So I clawed through the dirt, the soil of the Earth With bare hands that barely could shovel And the canyon did flood with water and blood From a thunderous storm up above Yes and God spoke clearly for the very first time in my life And the sounds he made were glorious and great It was a tidal wave of rhythm
