The Maker Songtext / Lyric

Oh, oh deep water

Black, and cold like the night

I stand with arms wide open

I've run a twisted mile

I'm a stranger

In the eyes of the maker



I could not see for fog in my eyes

I could not feel for the fear in my life

And across the great divide

in the distance I saw a light

I saw Jean Baptiste

Walking to me with the maker






My body is bent and broken

By long and dangerous leaps

I can't work the fields of Abraham

And turn my head away

I'm not a stranger

In the hands of the maker



Brother John

Have you seen the homeless daughters?

Standing there with broken wings

I have seen the flaming swords

There over east of eden

Burning in the eye of the maker

Burning in the eyes of the maker

Burning in the eyes of the maker

Burning in the eyes of the maker



Oh river (oh river), rise from your sleep
