Wade in the water
Mud covered feet
I'm dizzy in sunlight
Splashing over me
My hands reaching outward
The wind and my mother
They both held me upright
As I fell right back into backwards
Hold my breath and go
Oh what a feeling
As the waters rush
Over me
The faces blurring
My sister riding her bike from the store
My grandfather smoking his pipe out on the porch
My eyes watch like a dream
This life that spills over me
And rocks me to sleep
The sky is a blanket
Your hand is a stone
The lake is a prayer
Swallowing prayers
As I close my eyes and
Maybe it's you
Your love that I'm feeling
And maybe it's god
This love that I'm feeling
And maybe it's just
The sun spreading over
The rippling water
And maybe I'm just
A drumming of heartbeats
And maybe I was
A melody leaping
From birds singing as
The light fades across the whole world
Holding its breath as I go
Oh what a feeling
As the waters
Rush over me
The faces blurring
My mother holding me tight to her chest
When I close my eyes
I still feel her words in my head
It fills me like a dream
Her voice that spills over me
And rocks me to sleep
Rocks me to sleep
And rocks me to sleep
