Open up my eyes I pray
Lord for just a little glimpse of you
That's all I need
All I've ever needed
To see beyond myself, beyond this tiny little world
At all your hands have made,
With beauty and strength alone
I can see you comin' to me now
Ah, like a shimmering light
A shimmering light on an open sea
Barefoot on the water, laughin' at the ocean
Like you were old friends
And callin' out my name sayin' join me now
Strollin' on the water... high over every care
Strollin' on the water... sinking no longer
Let me rise above the high tide
I can do it, I'll do it yeah,
I know where my strength comes from
Help me cut these bonds where I keep my spirit tied down
All safe and dry... safe and dry and so afraid
Let me come to you, let me run to you,
While my heart's still beating, beating in my throat,
With my sweaty palms and a mouth so dry
Shakin' till I can't stand still
All I'm askin', all I'm askin' is to
Let me cross that great divide between you and I
Only you can take me there, so take me there
Strollin' on the water... high over every care
Strollin' on the water... sinking no longer
Let me rise above the high tide
I can do it, I'll do it yeah, I know that you said
Follow me... just let the water flow... let it go
Oh, and keep your eyes on me
You feel alive?
Try turnin' circles... bend your knees
And hold your hands up high
Can ya feel the wind in your hair... with your eyes closed
Take a breath of fresh air... feel the mist on your toes
(look where we are)
