I will wade out
Eric Whitacre * Track #1 On Three Songs of Faith
I will wade out Lyrics
I will wade out
Till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
And leap into the ripe air
Alive
With closed eyes
To dash against darkness
In the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
With chasteness of sea-girls
Will i complete the mystery
Of my flesh
I will rise
After a thousand years
Lipping
Flowers
And set my teeth in the silver of the moon
I will wade out Q&A

What did Eric Whitacre say about "I will wade out"?
From the composer’s website:
I will wade out is the first in the set of Three Songs of Faith, and was a joy to set to music. The text is so passionate, so sensual; I found it to be the perfect opening to a cycle of pieces about my own personal faith.
