Mother by Kara Frazier Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jordan’s been calling my name since the day that I was born­
This river is beckoning me with a promise to calm the storm
But the waves keeps rising, it’s hard to keep fighting
The night is closing in

[Chorus]
Mother, mother, mother the tide is rising high
Brother, brother, brother that river is running wild

[Verse 2]
When the wisdom of my Father falls silently on my deaf ears
And the whisper of my innocence fades with my falling tears

[Chorus]
Mother, mother, mother the tide is rising high
Brother, brother, brother that river is running wild

[Bridge]
I can’t stand against the wind
I can’t steer the ship I’m in
But mother, oh please mother
Won’t you show me how to swim?
Wade in the water, wade in the water now child
Said God's a-gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water, wade in the water children
God's a-gonna trouble the water

[Chorus]
Mother, mother, mother the tide is rising high
Brother, brother, brother that river is running wild
Mother, mother, mother the tide is rising high
Brother, brother, brother that river is running wild

[Outro]
See that one in red?
Looks like the one Moses led
See that one in blue?
Look like my people coming through
