Do you fear the rising water
As it slowly breaks your will?
Do you hear the cries of your daughter
As she breaks and spills?
Well I'll know
Well it's only bricks and mortar
But you've always called it home
Will we find just where we falter?
Will we sit unknown?
Well I know that he's praying I'll understand
[Chorus]
Say your worst and throw me to the wolves
At your doorstep
Believe a fool's empty promise to deliver fool's gold
Do you feel the rising water
As it slowly fills your lungs?
Do you hear the cries of your daughter
And your only son?
Well I'll know now
So just say it. I'll understand
[Chorus]
I know
I'm not the only one to have ever walked this road
And I know
That you should not yet know such sadness
[Chorus]
