Waters Risin' (Got to Swim to the Other Side
Music and lyrics by Don Shearer 2006
Verse 1
I was the last man standing on that bloody ground,
The devil had his spear at my breast.
He says, "Your valiant fight is over and your comrades are dead,
Now it's time to go like all the rest."
He says, "The river at your back is icy and wide,
Why don't we make this quick and easy, you've got no where to hide."
I said, "Thanks for the invitation but I really must decline.
I'm going to swim to the other side."
Chorus
Waters rising, got to swim to the other side.
Waters rising, got to swim to the other side.
Better get yourself together, you can run but you just can't hide.
Between the devil and the ever-lovin' deep blue sea
You've got to swim to the other side.
Verse 2
At the first crack of thunder Noah looks to the sky,
He says, "I do believe it looks like rain."
And then the Lord calls down, kind of serious-like,
"It's time to wash away the wicked and vain.
I'm gonna tell you this just once. This ain't no passing whim.
Frankly, your chances of survival are growing mighty thin.
You're going to build me an ark.
Get ready to embark.
Or, by God, you'd better learn to swim."
('cause I'm telling you)
Chorus
Verse 3
When trouble comes knockin', cowards run for the hills,
But you know they just can't climb that high.
The fools rush in and say they're goin' to build a ship,
But you know it ain't gonna fly.
The scoundrels all fall down and pretend to pray,
But you know it's just too late.
You've got to strip it down, and jump right in,
You've got to wash away that hate.
(Don't you know that the)
Chorus
