[Verse 1]
I think grace and virtue
You came to my rescue
This will be a fine morning
A mighty old higher calling
Then I came to see
You bring out the best in me
Talk about a fine morning
A mighty old higher calling

[Pre-Chorus]
A gift on a rainy day
A "something" to believe in
That's the beauty of it all
And all because of you

[Chorus]
Hey!
I won't drown, no I won't drown
Baby I've learned to swim in my crocodile tears
I got a feeling, yeah I got a feeling
A change gon' come to wipe my crocodile tears away

[Post-Chorus]
You wipe my crocodile tears away, away
You wipe my crocodile tears away
[Verse 2]
I say bless the worried, treasure all the hurting
It better be a finer morning, God I need a higher calling
I know apologies won't get the best of me
I'm talking about a fine morning, reaching for a higher calling

[Pre-Chorus]
Already paid the price for something to believe in
That's the beauty of it all and all because of you

[Chorus]
Hey!
I won't drown, no I won't drown
Baby I've learned to swim in my crocodile tears
I got a feeling, yeah I got a feeling
A change gon' come to wipe my crocodile tears away

[Post-Chorus]
Away, away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, you wipe my crocodile tears
Away, away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, you wipe my crocodile tears away
Away, you wipe my crocodile tears away
