Joseph Arthur - I Used To Know How To Walk On Water lyrics

I used to know how to walk on water I used to be so unafraid I could save the weakest tyrant And I could knight the proudest slave I could give riches to beggars And give love to the one who hates I could tempt a who*e so frozen And I could torture the strength of fate I used to know how to walk on water A king of kings they knew me well I could give sight to blind men And make a mute man sing in hell But now I watch with awe and wonder Doubt has now befallen me I ask the lord to show me mercy And to give me sympathy sponsored links Forgive me now, my useless thunder When I was such a dynamo I am here and I am humble For I know not which way to go I used to know how to walk on water I could give a dead heart life I could murder the joy of satan And make his mistress be my wife I would be a dream of cowards And they would never resemble me I could see them doubt me under As I set each one free Now I just sit and wonder What illness has befallen me A sicker mind makes me surrender To this world of vacancy Forgive me now, my useless thunder When I was such a dynamo I am here and I am humble For I know not which way to go I used to know how to walk on water Now I sink in the dirt No kind sun or holy laughter Seems to reach beyond the hurt I used to know how to walk on water I used to be at peace with love And all its strength and all its power Would lift me up so high above A burning star, a holy wonder Women would rush to be with me But now I'm lost inside the thunder Of pain which holds insanity Forgive me now, my useless thunder When I was such a dynamo I am here and I am humble For I know not which way to go Forgive me now, my useless thunder When I was such a dynamo I am here and I am humble For I know not which way to go
