Chorus

 The Cwater susGtains me witChout even Ftrying

 The Cwater can't dGrown me, I'm Amdone

 With my Fdyy...Cing

Please help me build a small boat

One that'll ride on the flow

Where the river runs deep, and the larger fish creep

I'm glad of what keeps me afloat

The water sustains me without even trying

The water can't drown me, I'm done

With my dying

Now deeper the water I sail

And faster the current I'm in

So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver

The artist has run out of paint

The water sustains me without even trying

The water can't drown me, I'm done

With my dying

Where the blue of the sea meets the sky

And the big yellow sun leads me home

I'm everywhere now, the way is a vow

To the wind of each breath by and by

The water sustains me without even trying

The water can't drown me, I'm done

With my dying
