Early morning, teacher talking
To five thousand by the lake
All day long til his disciples
Told him master, its getting late
How you gonna feed them?
How you gonna keep them?
Whatcha gonna give when theres
nothing to give?
He said, I am the fisherman,
I fish for hearts of men
And if you come to me
You'll find everlasting peace
I see no difference
All are one as god's children
I am the fisherman
Early morning, millions waking
In the cities of the earth
I wake with a worried feeling
So much fighting, what's it worth?
How'm I gonna love them?
How'm I gonna trust them?
How'm I gonna live in this
world as one?
He said, I am the fisherman,
I fish for hearts of men
And if you come to me
You'll find everlasting peace
I see no difference
All are one as god's children
I am the fisherman
Sunday morning, I am waking
From the prison of my birth
I wake with a joyful feeling
I am learning what it's worth
Learning to change things
By changing our heart
Learning that love is the
Place to start
I am the fisherman,
I fish for hearts of men
And if you come to me
You'll find everlasting peace
I see no difference
All are one as god's children
I am the fisherman
I am the fisherman
I am the fisherman
