I know what I wanted
I know how I wanted this to beYou go down to the water
Drink down on the water
Fly up off the water, leave it beBut this is not my dream, sister
It is cold in heaven
Im not sprouting wingsIm drowning

MeBrother, can you see those birds?
But they dont look to heaven
And they dont need religion, they can seeThey go down to the water
Drink down of the water
Fly up off the water, leave it beBut this is not my time, sister
It is cold in heaven
And no ones coming after meIm drowning
Me
Im drowning
MeYou know I am tired
Cold and bony tired
Nothings gonna save me, I can seeI cant say Im fearful
I cant say Im not afraid
I am not resisting, I can seeI dont need a heaven
I dont need religion
I am in the place where I should beI am breathing water
I am breathing water
You know a bodys got to breatheIm drowning
