Wade in the water
Who's that young girl dressed in red?
Wade in the water
Must be the children that Moses led
Said, God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water
Wade in the water
Find something real
Like the mountains in the ocean
Something real
Something under and beneath me
I can feel
Like my body in the river
Make me shiver all over
Make me shiver all over
Make me shiver all over with love

Who's that young girl dressed in white?
Must be the children of the Israelites
But if you get there before i do
You tell Jehovah I'm coming too

Said, wade in the water
Wade in the water
Find something real
Like the mountains in the ocean
Something real
Something under and beneath me
I can feel
Like my body in the river
Make me shiver all over
Make me shiver all over
Make me shiver all over with love

(Come on)
(Come on)

In the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
Don't you know that god's gonna trouble the water?

Said,
Oh brother, let's go down, let's go down, come on on down
(Oh brother, let's go down, let's go down, come on on down)
Oh brother, let's go down, down in the river to pray
(Oh brother, let's go down, down in the river to pray)
Oh brother, let's go down, let's go down, come on down, hey
(Oh brother, let's go down, let's go down, come on down)
(Oh brother, let's go down, down in the river to)

Find something real
Like the mountains in the ocean
Something real
Something other than beneath me
I can feel
Like my body in the river
Make me shiver all over
Make me shiver all over
Make me shiver all over with love

(Come on)
(Come on)
