Mike Mains & The Branches Beneath Water lyrics

So scrath away the sand stuck in your ears
Water all the crops with showers of tears
Tell all those baby's mothers they dont need no fear
Cuz God's got their hearts in His hands

And we'll ask all of the painters if they dress in white
To walk around the streets in the dead of the night
Dance like guests at a wedding underneath the lights
Look at the buildings and say "I touched that"
Oh we always wanna brag
Oh we always wanna brag

CHORUS
Just hold me underneath the water
Til the old me dies and slips out of this body
Rip him out of my body
And make me new again

And maybe I'm the writer that will spark that flam
And make the world believe in the right kind of faith
But perhaps i need to get these feet offstage and find a smaller pair of shoes to fill

What I know is that my Father's only Son said "They'll be time to sleep when the work is done"
Keep your pedal to floor until the race is won
What if the race is not a race at all, don't you crash into a tree?
Dont you crash into a tree?


CHORUS x 2

He spoke his words to me like well driven nails
They sank like wind and rain to my rusty sails
The sailor's hands took flight and hung in the sky
Below a celebration that lands inside
My heart pumps with pride as i'm defined
The center of the room filled with all your eyes
Leading me to believe that I'm so fresh and revised
But God i'm nothing if I dont have You

Ohhh ohhh I'm not a thing
Ohhhh Ohhh ohhhh

I met my brother int the hallway
Said he loves Jesus
And I said "I think I do too"
I met my brother in the hallway
I met my brother in the hallway

CHORUS
