Born by the Water

I was born by the water, where the sun kissed the land In a hazy, easy summer where the breeze held my mother's hand I was raised by the water, throwing stones into the pools Laid me down in the tall grass and listened to the loons Fall of night I can see reflections glowing Silhouetted treeline shaping the sky while I lie By the water Raised by the water I feel alive by the water I want to live by the water, take each day as it comes Be my one and only maker, learn the teachings of the sun Fall of night I can see reflections glowing Silhouetted treeline shaping the sky while I lie By the water Raised by the water I feel alive by the water One day I'll die by the water, let her wash over me And all my sins will be forgiven and my bones in reverie The water Raised by the water I feel alive by the water
