[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 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 lying there in pain
She was crying out to me

[Verse 4]
I was so absorbed in my own loneliness
Are you not my brother? I guess not yet
Oh, to turn back the hands of time
Drowning in my shame
[Chorus]
Come up, my brother
Come up, my sister
Come up, my children
And walk on water with me

[Verse 5]
I can't
I, I
I can't

[Verse 6]
I’d give anything to touch your gown
To kiss your hand, anything
I knelt down in hopelessness
Hopelessness, hopelessness

[Verse 7]
I’d give anything to hear your voice
To wash your feet, anything
I knelt down in helplessness
And then I felt virtue flow to me

[Chorus]
I heard, come up, my brother
I heard, come up, my sister
Come up, my children
And walk on water with me
[Verse 8]
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

[Outro]
I thought I heard our names
