[Intro]
Hey, yeah
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]
I was standing at the back of a crowd
At the edge of the sea, a multitude
A single word
A hush would fall

[Verse 2]
(I prayed) I prayed that your gaze might fall on me
That my longing might part the sea of faces
And in my misery
I turned and walked away

[Chorus]
Come up my brother
Come up my sister
Come up my children
And walk on water with me

[Verse 3]
I walked away from that crowd
Out along a long and dusty road
I saw a woman
She was lying there in pain
Crying out to me
[Verse 4]
But I was so absorbed
In my own loneliness (Loneliness)
Are you not my brother?
I guess not yet
Oh, to turn back the hands of time
I'm drowning in my shame

[Chorus]
Come up my brother
Come up my sister
Come up my children
And walk on water with me
(Come up)

[Verse 5]
I’d give anything (I'd give anything) to hear your voice
To touch your hand, your hem, anything
I knelt down in hopelessness
Hopelessness, hopelessness

[Verse 6]
I'd give everything to feel your grace (Feel your grace)
To wash your feet, kiss your hem, anything
I knelt down in thankfulness
And then I felt virtue flow to me
[Chorus]
(I heard) Come up my brother (Come up my brother)
(And I heard) Come up my sister (Come up my sister)
Come up my children (Come up my children)
And walk on water again

[Verse 7]
Oh, that was the night of nights
I stood against the sea
In that strange starlight
I felt the wind upon my face
I thought I heard my name, oh

[Outro]
I thought I heard my name
Our names, our names, our names
Our names, our names, our names
