Highwater (Soldier) - Luther Dickinson

Stranded on a rooftop

No help is comin'

I wanna rise up

So that at home

The highwater overflowin'

That highwater risin'

And we’re lost at home

My cup is empty

My mouth is dry

Old hands are beatin' down

From up on high

My cup is empty

And my mouth is dry

The old, dirty water

Is on the rise

blew out here

To the city

The devil runnin' loose

Lord, have mercy

Said the levy

«Lord, have mercy.»

The devil runnin' loose

He blew our levy

But God gave Noah

That rebel sign

Won’t be water

But fire next time

God gave Noah

That rebel sign

It won’t be water

But fire next time

Stranded on the rooftop

Of our home

Highwater risin'

No help has come

On the rooftop

Of our home

That highwater risin'

And no help has come

That highwater risin'

And we lost our home
