Lyrics
Verse 1 She's Sixteen
Sitting in the very last row,
Looking out at all those faces
Everybody knows.
The lady at the clinic said
She's three months along.
Right now she's so scared
She's so all alone
Pre Chorus But then the preacher man talks about redemption
About God's love and salvation
Something brought you here today
Come with me, we'll find a way.
She said...
Chorus Take me down to the water's edge
And I'll leave my sins on the shore
I'll rise and walk a brand new child
Different than before
Different than before
Verse 2 He's thirty five
And he finally got the weekend off.
Worked hard all his life
At the same old dead end job.
He thinks that he's found
A way to get ahead
But that stuff in his nose is a dead end road
And now he's gonna wind up dead
Pre Chorus But then the preacher man talks about redemption
About God's love and salvation
Something brought you here today
Come with me, we'll find a way.
He said...
Repeat Chorus
Bridge He wants to love and guide them,
But his own life is such a mess
He wonders how he'll save them
He can't even save himself
Pre Chorus Then he starts thinking about redemption
About God's love and salvation
Something brought them here today
They're lookin' to me to find the way.
And he said...
Chorus 2 We'll go down to the water's edge
We'll all leave our sins on the shore
We'll rise and walk a brand new child
Different than before, Different than before
Different than before
