The water's getting deeper and I can't feel my feet I keep on bailing buckets, but it flows right back to me And everything is put away, the children are asleep But the water's getting deeper, and I can't feel my feet How am I gonna make time Oh, this is gonna take time How am I gonna make time Everything seems different, colors all look strange And light comes down in shafts here underneath the waves And everything put away and the children are asleep But the water's getting deeper, and I can't feel my feet How am I gonna make time Oh, this is gonna take time How am I gonna make time I am provider, but providence has been swayed And by design nothing is ever the same I thought that time had only one way to go I learned how to swim, but not to breathe underwater How am I gonna make time Oh, this is gonna take time How am I gonna make time But I can't feel my feet I can't feel my feet
