when the water's too high
when the water's too high
I will carry you
I will carry you
when the streets are too hot
when the streets are too hot
I will carry you
I will carry you
Chorus
I will carry you
I will carry you
when the water's too high
I will carry you
[ Instrumental-Bridge ]
when the night is too black
when the night is too black
I will carry you
I will carry you
when the water's too high
when the water's too high
I will carry you
I will carry you
Chorus
