Take my pride
Take my shame
Pierce my heart
If it'll clear my name
A smile that hides the pain
I'm ready to free my soul
Carrying all these secrets
That only heaven knows
Can't wait till the morning comes
Just to lay it all down
They say that You can save the lost
Well I'm ready to be found
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
I'm tired of dreaming that I'm set free
To wake up finding chains all over me
Kicking, screaming, fighting at this chaos
When I'm to blame for putting up my own cross
So done with running from Who's calling me
Cause I heard He had the keys to set me free
So it's time to face all my pain
And start running to the rain
I can't wait until the morning comes
Just to lay it all down
I need a change to come
And I need it right now
Take me to the water (Where my soul can be made whole)
Take me to the water (Where I know He can cleanse my soul)
Take me to the water (Hey, I need to be made clean, Lord)
Take me to the water (Where only You can set me free, yeah)
Take me to the water (I need, I need the water for my soul, yeah)
Take me to the water (Where I know I'll be made whole)
Take me to the water (I need to let it rain on me)
Take me to the water (For I know I've been redeemed)
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
To be baptized
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
To be baptized
So give me that water (I know I need it for the cleansing of my soul)
Take me to the water (And I know I need it to make me whole)
Take me to the water (So I'll never thirst again, no)
Take me to the water (I wanna be free from my sin, y'all)
Take me to the water
