From the recording Chapter One
Lyrics
Did you ever do something you thought you'd never do?
Saw someone else making the rounds you wanted to do it too
Long way down to the water
With my arms stretched out I thought I could fly
Wasn't quite sure what I'd hoped for
The burning in my body I thought I would die
I've drowned myself in sorrow
I've drowned myself in pain
No one dared to save me
The fear in their eyes as they ran to the lower ground
Long way down to the water
With my arms stretched out I thought I could fly
Wasn't quite sure what I'd hoped for
The burning in my body, thought I would die
So many times I've wandered
As I'm living the life of pleasure
I'm hoping they'd all forget about me
Yet the time would surely come
There's a man over there, with a gun
Well I've drowned myself in sorrow
And I've drowned myself in pain
I tell myself to wait until tomorrow
Everyday is just the same
No one dared to save me
With fear in their eyes they ran to the lower ground
Merciful honor don't you know who I am
Thats when he put the hammer down
I looked to the skies I feel the presence of a stranger
All I believe is my lies
Long way down to the water
With my arms stretched out I thought I could fly
Long way down to the water
The burning in my body, thought I would die
Long way down to the water
With my arms stretched out I thought I could fly
Long way down to the water
The burning in my body, thought I would die
