Oh, Oh Deep water
                                             Black, and cold like the night
                                             I stand with arms wide open
                                             I've run a twisted mile
                                             I'm a stranger
                                             in the eyes of the Maker
                                             
                                             I could not see
                                             for fog in my eyes
                                             I could not feel
                                             for the fear in my life
                                             From across the great divide
                                             In the distance i saw a light
                                             John Baptist
                                             walking to me with the Maker
                                             
                                             My body is bent and broken
                                             by long and dangerous sleep
                                             I can work the fields of Abraham
                                             and turn my head away
                                             I'm not a stranger
                                             in the hands of the Maker
                                             
                                             Brother John
                                             Have you seen the homeless daughters
                                             standing there
                                             with broken wings
                                             I have seen the flaming swords
                                             there over east of eden
                                             burning in the eyes of the Maker
                                             burning in the eyes of the Maker
                                             burning in the eyes of the Maker
                                             burning in the eyes of the Maker
                                             
                                             oh river rise from your sleep....
