I come from the water

I crawled upon the shore

I left my brothers there

I got what I came for



I sucked that hot air in

And rolled upon the sand

Emerged beneath the sun

To be a man.



I come from the water



I come from the water

That weren't no easy thing

It's more than nature

It's like my destiny



I stood upon these legs

And held my head up high

Emerged beneath the sun

To start a new life



I come from the water



Life in the desert

Just to be together

The sand forever

The same forever



It moves beneath me

It pulls my body

My pulse beats hotter

So far from the water



I love to see the sun

In spite of all it's done

I pray for shade and rain

I pray to live again



I come from the water
