Across These Waters Lyrics

Come on and take me by the hand and show me - take me to a place where I can see. Where there's no darkness to surround me, a place where time stands till for you and me. This love I feel inside will last till this world crumbles and I, I will love you from now on. I love the way you look at me; the way you look into my eyes, and show me everything's all right. Across these waters that have come between us, my heart beats faster, and my knees are getting weaker. Every thought I have is of you. Give me just one more thought of you.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's about God, cuz they're a Christian band. But I guess it could apply to a girl too.

I seriously wouldn't think they were a Christian band if this was a song about a girl.

"Every thought I have is of you." If every thought they had was of a girl then they would be putting her before God.

"take me to a place where I can see. Where there's no darkness to surround me". Who can take you to a place place there's no darkness? I know God can. Is there any girl with that ability? I think not. The closest I can think of is where being together, they are able to ignore any darkness or maybe even embrace it, that is human nature.

"the way you look into my eyes, show me everything's all right". Another trait I can attribute to God. I guess she could tell him everything is all right, but she couldn't show him by looking him in the eyes. She couldn't even know if she was telling him the truth or not, but God could.

It's okay to have a love song about a girl (I think they have a few), but some of the things in this song can't be and shouldn't be attributed to anyone other than God.
