Singer Ahren Stringer said this about “Don´t Wade in the Water”:
“It’s song about my mother and father and the role the church had in separating them, and then the role that the church and religion played in my later life. Obviously, it is a play on the old hymn sung by Ella Jenkins, which is a bea...
[Intro: Ahren Stringer]
When the light's down low, everything will glow
Only love will save his soul
When the stars align, will he drown in fire?
Or will our love have saved his soul?
[Verse 1: Joel Birch]
Don't wade in the water, babe, maybe we will come undone
Don't wade in the water now, surely it'll kill our love
There's a cold rain on the way, got an ice storm in my heart
Don't wade in the water, you can't stop the pain once you start
Another blue day in his eyes, there's a cold rain gonna pour
Don't wadе in the water, it's not the pеace you're looking for
Don't wade in the water, the devil's gonna take your son
Don't wade in the water, the devil's gonna crush your love
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
When the light's down low, everything will glow
Only love will save his soul
When the stars align, will he drown in fire?
Or will our love have saved his soul?
[Verse 2: Joel Birch]
Don't walk in the fire, love, you're gonna make us come undone
Don't walk in the fire, you'll only end up alone
Gonna wade in the water, love, let the fever calm down some
Gonna wade in the water, let me try reduce the harm
[Breakdown: Joel Birch]
Oh
You're living a lie, forcing his silence
You're living a lie, religion is violence
You're living a lie, forcing silence
You're living a lie, religion is violence
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
When the light's down low, everything will glow
Only love will save his soul
When the stars align, will he drown in fire?
Or will our love have saved his soul?
Will our love have saved his soul?
Will our love have saved his soul?
When the light's down low, everything will glow
Only love will save his soul
