Lyrics
Walkin' on the water
Whistlin' on my way
Walkin' on the water
just to see what you will say
and you can say what you may
but you can't get me to lay
down and listen to your rules
cause they're written by your fools.
But if you follow me here
you better leave behind your fear
or learn to swim.
Well, did you know that I could fly
so big and so high?
Did you know that I could fly?
Did you think to ask me why
I left you sittin' in my wake?
Did you think that I could take
all of your girly-girl suggestions?
Cause they raise a lot of questions.
But if you follow me here
you better leave behind your fear
or bring a parachute young lady
and pull the cord.
Walkin' on the water!
You know you set me free
Walkin' on the water!
If you think you'll follow me
that's where I'll be.
There's change on the horizon.
I'm gonna put some in my pocket.
There's change on the horizon.
You better think before you knock it.
Cause it's comin' to put you down.
You better not be around.
If you so much as look in my direction,
you're gonna feel my insurrection.
But if you follow me here
You better leave behind your fear.
Oh, and leave your politics behind you as well.
Better leave your politics behind you as well.
Don't bring your politics around here at all.
Walkin' on the water!
You know you set me free
Walkin' on the water!
If you think you'll follow me
that's where I'll be.
