I know what I wanted
I know what I wanted
I know how I wanted this to
be
You go down to the water
Drink down of the water
Walk up off the water,
leave it be
This is not my time, brother
It is cold in heaven
And I’m not sprouting
wings.
I’m drowning
Me
I’m drowning
Me, yeah
Brother can you see those birds?
They don’t look to heaven
They don’t
need religion, they can see
They go down to the water
Drink down on the water
Fly up off the water,
leave it be
This is not my time, sister
It is cold in heaven
And no one’s coming
after me
I’m drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me
Breathing ourselves
I’m
drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me, yeah
You know I am tired
Cold and bony tired
Nothing’s gonna save me, I can
see
I can’t say I’m fearful
I can’t say I’m not afraid
But I am not
resisting, I can see
I don’t need a heaven
I don’t need religion
I am in the place where I
should be
I am breathing water
I am breathing water
You know a body’s got to
breathe
I’m drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me
Breathing ourselves
I’m
drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me, yeah
