 4/4):
Come  to the water,  the water  will flow.
Stand to  the night, see  the light, let  it  grow.
Hold on  for  hard  winds are  starting  to  blow.
 Stand up!  Hold on!  And  swear  you  won’t let
 12/8):
go.
 12/8):
 Whatever I said  doesn’t matter.  Whatever you said  doesn’t hurt.
 Whatever we meant  and whatever  we did is  lost  in the water.
 Whatever I felt  I’ve forgotten.  Whatever I planned  I released,
 But come take my hand,  come  down to the water,  come  down to the water.
 12/8):
 Where people are coming  together  and people are falling  apart,
 And no one can hide—we’re  caught in the tide  and punched in the heart.
 People are harder  than diamonds.  And people are stronger  than knives.
 We breathe and we burn,  but we’ll never return
 For the rest of our  lives,
 For the rest of our  lives.  (People are coming  together...)
 Come down to the water,  come down to the water.
 Where people are coming  together  and people are falling  apart,
 We’re branded and blind,  and we try to rewind,  to reset and restart.
 People are louder  than fire,  and people are stronger  than knives.
 We’ll pick up the slack,  but we’ll never go back
 For the rest of our lives,
 For the rest of  our lives.  (People are coming  together...)
 4/4):
Come  to the water,  the water  will flow.
Stand  to the night,  see the light,  let it grow
Hold on  for  hard  winds  are  starting  to  blow! Stand  up!
 (Stand  up!) Hold  on! (Hold on!)  Stand up!  (Stand up!)  Hold  on! (Hold on!)
 12/8):
 People are coming  together.  People are coming  together.
 People are coming  together. All  across  the water!
 People are coming  together.  People are coming  together.
 People are coming  together. All  across  the water!
 (  Cappella):
  People are coming together. People are coming together.
  People are coming together. All across the water!
  People are coming together. People are coming together.
  People are coming together. All  across  the water!  Stand up!
 Hold on!  Stand  up!  Hold  on!  Stand up! Hold  on, and  swear  you  won’t let go…
