Walk On Water

(album: Looking Up - 2000)

As I came to my wits end
It was easier to break than bend
You said that I lost my faith
But I think it was taken from me
Never could let my guard down
Once again I start to drown
Because the water that you said to walk on
Suddenly gave way beneath me

Once again you prove yourself
And I'd expect it out of someone else
But it's the best laid plans that often run astray
Yeah I know it sounds cliche
But it seems the more things change
The more things stay the same
And that's proved to make me wise
As I look through tired eyes

As I came to my wits end
It was easier to break than bend
You said that I lost my faith
But I think it was taken from me
Never could let my guard down
Once again I start to drown
Because the water that you said to walk on
Suddenly gave way beneath me

Once again you prove yourself
And I'd expect it out of someone else
But it's the best laid plans that often run astray
Yeah I know it sounds cliche
But it seems the more things change
The more things stay the same
And that's proved to make me wise
As I look through tired eyes

Don't ask me to walk on water
Meet you on the other side
As you stand there looking blankly past me
Now I've finally realized that
I was never good enough
And I could never do enough
And I was only strong enough to
Pick you up and carry you again
