Lyrics

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 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
Come up, my children
And walk on water with me

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

I was so absorbed in my own 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
Come up, my sister
Come up, my children
And walk on water with me

I’d give anything to touch your gown
To kiss your hand, anything …
I knelt down in hopelessness
Hopelessness, hopelessness

I’d give anything to hear your voice
To wash your feet, anything …
I knelt down in helplessness
And then I felt virtue flow to me

Come up, my brother
Come up, my sister
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 our names
