Feet of Clay - Cephas Teom

Rain, rain on my face Hasn't stopped raining for days My world is a flood Slowly I become one with the mud But if I can't swim after 40 days And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me oh (Lift me up) When I'm falling (Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying (Lift me up) I need you to hold me (Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again Downpour on my soul Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control Dark sky all around Can't feel my feet touching the ground But if I can't swim after 40 days And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me oh (Lift me up) When I'm falling (Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying (Lift me up) I need you to hold me (Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again Calm the storms that drench my eyes And dry the streams still flowing Casting down all waves of sin And guilt that overthrow me If I can't swim after 40 days And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me oh (Lift me up) When I'm falling (Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying (Lift me up) I need you to hold me (Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again (Lift me up) When I'm falling (Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying (Lift me up) I need you to hold me (Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again

Yesterday, I thought that I was low as I could get I had hit rock bottom ever since you up and left But this morning when I saw you With somebody else, well needless to say That's when I started sinking even lower And as far as where I am at today Well, there's two feet of topsoil A little bit of bedrock, limestone in between A fossilized dinosaur, a little patch of crude oil A thousand feet of granite underneath, then there's me I was kinda hopin' I could dig my way back out A couple dozen roses maybe get you back somehow But the love in your eyes as you talked to him today was plain to see So I ain't gonna get involved, but Should you change your mind Well, you know right where I'll be Yeah, there's two feet of topsoil A little bit of bedrock, limestone in between A fossilized dinosaur, a little patch of crude oil A thousand feet of granite underneath, then there's me Well, there's two feet of topsoil A little bit of bedrock, limestone in between A fossilized dinosaur, a little patch of crude oil A thousand feet of granite underneath Yeah, there's two feet of topsoil A little bit of bedrock, limestone in between A fossilized dinosaur, a little patch of crude oil A thousand feet of granite underneath, then there's me

Got a whole lot of years And a whole lot of pain And it all got me here Where the river meets the clay Rewindin' through my past Tryin to find some good But I can't seem to see What mama always could And that sun is shinin' down On all my darker days They're comin' to me now As I hear the preacher say In the name of the Son and the Father Can I really leave it all In three feet of water? I can't unbreak the laws Straighten out the rules I've bent Take the broken dreams and hearts Make 'em all whole again I been carryin' around All the messes that I've made But a few more steps from now They'll all be washed away And that sun is shinin' down On all my darker days They're comin' to me now As I hear the preacher say In the name of the Son and the Father Who'd've thought I could leave it all In three feet of water Washin' over me Amazing Grace the choir sings And now I know what mercy's all about And that sun is shinin' down And all my darker days They're nowhere to be found All that preacher had to say Was in the name of the Sun and the Father Who'd've thought I could leave it all? You took my cross so I could leave it all In three feet of water Mmm, in three feet of water Mmm So, it's that simple, huh?

I keep on runnin' from my own life Because I'd rather not fight It chases me, soon as it's daylight And well through the night, yeah But I can never stop Wastin' all my time with you No, I can never stop Wastin' all my time with you I feel over when I don't see you Stay in the back of my, back of my mind I feel over when I don't see you Stay in the back of my, back of my mind Na-na, na-na Stay in the back of my, back of my mind Na-na, na-na Stay in the back of my, back of my mind I'm tryin' to help myself feel okay I know I won't be today All of these thoughts will never go away I guess I shouldn't complain, yeah But I can never stop Wastin' all my time with you No, I can never stop Wastin' all my time with you I feel over when I don't see you Stay in the back of my, back of my mind I feel over when I don't see you Stay in the back of my, back of my mind Na-na, na-na Stay in the back of my, back of my mind Na-na, na-na Stay in the back of my, back of my mind I feel over when I don't see you Stay in the back of my, back of my mind I feel over when I don't see you Stay in the back of my, back of my mind Na-na, na-na Stay in the back of my, back of my mind Na-na, na-na Stay in the back of my, back of my mind
