Do you fear the rising water As it slowly breaks your will? Do you hear the cries of your daughter As she breaks and spills? Well I'll know Well it's only bricks and mortar But you've always called it home Will we find just where we falter? Will we sit unknown? Well I know that he's praying I'll understand [Chorus] Say your worst and throw me to the wolves At your doorstep Believe a fool's empty promise to deliver fool's gold Do you feel the rising water As it slowly fills your lungs? Do you hear the cries of your daughter And your only son? Well I'll know now So just say it. I'll understand [Chorus] I know I'm not the only one to have ever walked this road And I know That you should not yet know such sadness [Chorus]
