Daddy was a preacher She was his wife Just tryin to make the world a little better You know, shine a light People started talking Just to hear their own voice Those people tried to accuse my father Say he made the wrong choice Though it might be painful You know that time will always tell Those people have long since gone My father never failed Even when the rain falls Even when the flood starts rising Even when the storm comes I am washed by the water Even when the rain falls Even when the flood starts rising Even when the storm comes I am washed by the water Even when the Earth crumbles under my feet Even when the ones I love, turn around and crucify me I won't ever ever let you down Won't fall, won't fall, won't fall as long as you're around me Even when the rain falls Even when the flood starts rising Even when the storm comes I am washed by the water Even when the rain falls Even when the flood starts rising Even when the storm comes I am washed by the water Even when the rain falls Even when the flood starts rising Even when the storm comes I am washed by the water Even when the rain falls Even when the flood starts rising Even when the storm comes I am washed by the water ♪ Yeah, I am washed by the water
