Where the Waters Call Home Lyrics
Like grass through cracked cement
We move through spaces called difference and restriction
These lines in the sand
They divide the common land
My friend, if the world can't fit in your hand
Maybe it's the way that you're squeezing
Trying to trap a man inside his skin
How can we know what oceans the waters call home?
And late at night do they swim there alone?
Come rescue the cold
Born under barricades raised high to dam us
You've built up these borders
Can your fences contain
A tempered man's refrain that
"Color and law are not what lives in a man's heart?"
And yet it sets us apart
How can we know what oceans the waters call home?
And late at night do they swim there alone?
Come rescue the cold
Mother of Exiles, you've turned many away
Oh, warm waters won't you rescue the cold?
Thaw the ice that hubris grows
And when you break through I hope that it holds
How can we know what oceans the waters call home?
And late at night do they swim there alone?
We move through spaces called difference and restriction
These lines in the sand
They divide the common land
My friend, if the world can't fit in your hand
Maybe it's the way that you're squeezing
Trying to trap a man inside his skin
And late at night do they swim there alone?
Come rescue the cold
You've built up these borders
Can your fences contain
A tempered man's refrain that
"Color and law are not what lives in a man's heart?"
And yet it sets us apart
And late at night do they swim there alone?
Come rescue the cold
Oh, warm waters won't you rescue the cold?
Thaw the ice that hubris grows
And when you break through I hope that it holds
And late at night do they swim there alone?
