  E            A              E    A

  I know how I wanted this to be

  

  

  Go down to the water

  Jump down on the water

  Walk above the water, leaving me

  

  

  This is not my time, brother

  It is cold in heaven

  and I'm not sprouting wings.

  

  

  E   A    E   A

  Me, yeah

  

  

  See those birds, you know the birds

  They don't look to heaven

  They don't need religion, they can see

  

  

  They go down to the water

  Drink out of the water

  Fly above the water, leaving me

  

  

  This is not my dream, sister

  It is cold in heaven

  And no one's coming after me

  

  

  E   A    E   A

  I'm drowning  (Breathing ourselves)

  You know I'm tired

  Cold, alone and tired

  Nothing's going to save me, oh 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

  And everybody's got to breathe
