Lyrics Washed by the Water (CMT Campfire Sessions) - NEEDTOBREATHE

Daddy was a preacher
She was his wife
Just tryin' to make the world a little better
You know, shine a light
People started talking
Just to hear their own voice
Those people tried to accuse my father
Say he made the wrong choice
Though it might be painful
You know that time will always tell
Those people have long since gone
My father never failed

'Cause even when the rain falls
Even when the flood starts rising
Even when the storm comes
I am washed by the water
'Cause even when the rain falls
Even when the flood starts rising
Even when the storm comes
I am washed by the water

'Cause even when the earth crumbles under my feet
Even when the ones I love
Turn around and crucify me
I won't ever, ever let you down
I won't fall, I won't fall
I won't fall as long as you're around me

'Cause even when the rain falls
Even when the flood starts rising
Even when the storm comes
I am washed by the water
'Cause even when the rain falls
Even when the flood starts rising
Even when the storm comes
I am washed by the water (yeah)

Yeah, I'm washed
Yes I am, yes I am

Come on

'Cause even when the rain falls
Even when the flood starts rising
Even when the storm comes
I am, I am, I am, I am
Even when the rain falls
Even when the flood starts rising
Even when the storm comes
I am washed
I am washed
I am washed by the water
(Hey!)
