When the water's too high
When the water's too high
I will carry you
I will carry you
When the streets are too hot
When the streets are too hot
I will carry you
I will carry you
Chorus
I will carry you
I will carry you
When the water's too high
I will carry you
[ Instrumental-Bridge ]
When the night is too black
When the night is too black
I will carry you
I will carry you
When the water's too high
When the water's too high
I will carry you
I will carry you
Chorus
