Hans Theessink - New Home Upon the Hill lyrics

Far as eye can see – ain't no sign of solid ground Far as eye can see – no sign of solid ground High water risin', black water all around Been raining so hard – for many nights and days Been raining so hard – so many nights and days Cold black water washing us all away Little children weep and the grown folks moan Little children weep and the grown folks moan Cryin' mercy, mercy – flood water's taken our home Wish I was fixin' to move – to a new home upon the hill Wish I was fixin' to move – to a new home upon the hill But my home's in the lowland – and the water's rising still High water risin', black water all around High water risin', black water all around Far as eye can see – ain't no sign of solid ground
