lyrics

Sittin aboard the old Kinneret
Everyone is taking bets
On who can walk on water first
I’m the captain of this ship
Making sure it don’t tip

There’s a storm that’s a comin in
But no one on this boat can swim
We might all drown
The sun escapes behind the clouds
People are fleeing their home towns

I thought that I could control
The ship with a tilt of my hand
But now, I understand that I was wrong

The waves are crashing over board
Someone is praying to the Lord
Everyone is down on a bended knee
You better put your life jackets on
Before this rugged ship is gone

There’s a man who’s fast asleep
I don’t think he’s earning his keep
Someone go down and wake him up
But how can he be so brave?
We’re the one’s who need to be saved

I thought that I could control
The ship with a tilt of my hand
But now, I understand that I was wrong

When the sleeping man awoke
The storm disappeared into smoke
And the sea grew still and calm
You can now take your life jackets off
I’m throwing this captain’s hat down

I thought that I could control
The ship with a tilt of my hand
But now, I understand that I was wrong
