Instrumentation Tony Graham Guitar/Vocals/Lyricist "Singer Songwriter Tony Graham has had the ability to magically mesmerize every audience I have seen him perform before. At a Tony Graham performance, while you are inadvertently wandering through past, present and future thoughts, you can’t help but wonder if the late Jim Croce hasn’t re-incarnated himself into the mind and soul of Graham. Or is it the reclusive Cat Stevens that keeps tickling your ears? Has James Taylor and Dan Folgelberg had their magical hands in on the honing of this guys talent? Yet what you are actually hearing and experiencing is something fantastically unique and fresh. Tony Graham is one of the best new songwriters of our day. Someone is going to grab a hold of this guy and run. Wouldn’t it be fun to be a small part of that history?" Mark Tenoi - Streetlight Magazine Http://singersongwritertonygraham.com “A unique and original American voice”. The voice echoes Cat Stevens, Jim Croce and Dan Folgelberg during their soulful, musical best. But Tony Graham somehow remains his own man, with his own memories, stories, and visions. He is not only well worth hearing, He is well worth hearing again and again Forest Benning - Nightlife Entertainment Graham, has been building an ever growing following for years by sculpting songs packed with spirit and passion. Dorine Bordin DB productions INC The Next American Idol Reviewer: Simon Cowell Tony Graham could easily be the next American Idol or the next Nashville Star. Hope to see him in the competition.

Story behind the song

I had this woman that thought that I could do anything. She expected miracles from me. I don't do miracles, I experience them.

Lyrics

"WALK On WATER" © 2003                                            Some day a lot of people gonna know my name.  
But don't ever think that I walk on water.  
Cause I'm like you we're all the same.  
And every thing we do does matter.  

But I can make you laugh and make you smile.  
And I can walk along life’s path with you awhile.  
I can be a comfort when you're blue, 
But baby, walking upon water something I can't do.  
No, I just can't walk on water for you.  

That's something that I think I really needed to say.  
But don't ever think that I don't love you.  
You're in my life I wouldn't have any other way, 
And I'll never put anything above you.  

But if you need a shelter from the storms, 
I will take you in and build a fire of love to keep you warm.  
And when you feel your tired and getting old, 
I'll do everything I can to ease the burden of your load, 
And I'll love you till the heavens overflow.  

But late at night while I lay sleeping, 
Lying peaceful, though seems, 
That's when I wonder how you have always lived your life in circles, 
While I have always been the one who goes and chases dreams.  
Do you ever feel we're ripping at the seams? 

Someday a lot of people gonna know my name.  
But don't ever think that I walk on water.  
Cause I'm like you we all feel pain, 
And everything we do can shatter.  

Still I can make you laugh and make you smile, 
And I can walk along this path with you while. 
I can be a comfort when you're blue.  
But baby walking upon water something I can't do.  
No I just can't walk on water.  
Don't expect me to walk on water.  
Yet I just might walk on water for you.
