Lyrics

Hey, yeah
Ooh, yeah

I was standing at the back of a crowd
At the edge of the sea, a multitude
A single word
A hush would fall

(I prayed) I prayed that your gaze might fall on me
That my longing might part the sea of faces
And in my misery
I turned and walked away

Come up my brother
Come up my sister (My sister)
Come up my children (My children)
And walk on water with me

I walked away from that crowd
Out along a long and dusty road
I saw a woman
She was lying there in pain
Crying out to me

But I was so absorbed
In my own loneliness (Loneliness)
Are you not my brother?
I guess not yet
Oh, to turn back the hands of time
Drowning in my shame

Come up my brother (My brother)
Come up my sister (My sister)
Come up my children (My children)
And walk on water with me
(Come on)

I’d give anything (I'd give anything) to hear your voice
To touch your hand, your hem, anything
I knelt down in hopelessness
Hopelessness, hopelessness (Ah)

I’d give everything to feel your grace (Feel your grace)
To wash your feet, kiss your hem, anything
I knelt down in thankfulness (Thankfulness)
And then I felt virtue flow to me

I heard, come up my brother (Come up my brother)
I heard, come up my sister (Come up my sister)
Come up my children (Come up my children)
And walk on water with me

Oh, that was the night of nights
I stood against the sea
In that strange starlight
I felt the wind upon my face
I thought I heard my name

I thought I heard my name (Our names)
Our names, our names
Our names, our names
