Running Under Water - Sean McConnell

Well, the Guadalupe River

Has shrunk down to just a sliver

And the ground has been praying for rain

As I stood there on the bridge

Thinking I feel just like this

Tired and thirsty for one damn thing to change

Oh, come holy ghost

Break the levy, build a boat

Call me Noah, carry me away

Oh, what a dream I had last night

I couldn’t scream, I could not fight

And the more that I pushed

And the more that I pried

It got harder and harder

Like running underwater

Well, I can’t hear the angels singing

And the telephone quit ringing

It’s a dustbowl of a soul that I wear

I’m just picking up the pieces

Crying out to Jesus

I could sure use you now if you’re there

Oh, what a dream I had last night

I couldn’t scream, I could not fight

And the more that I pushed

And the more that I pried

It got harder and harder

Like running underwater

Well, I was sinking down without a prayer

And begging just to get some air

And telling myself it’s just a nightmare

Oh, what a dream I had last night

I couldn’t scream, I could not fight

And the more that I pushed

And the more that I pried

It got harder and harder

Oh, what a dream I had last night

I couldn’t scream, I could not fight

And the more that I pushed

And the more that I pried

It got harder and harder

Like running underwater

I’m running underwater

I’m running, running, running
