Lyrics Child of the Water - Chantal Kreviazuk

Child of the Water

We are the pointed end of stars
We cut a hole in the dark
Sing so high we built the sky
And with the tears we cry
We filled the sea of life
Let the water breathe
Down, down beneath
And let no one be afraid
Here where love remains
And here a bird cannot be lost
The mermaids perched upon the rocks
And everywhere is home
My food and my clothes
The shells around her neck
And the seaweed are her locks
Let the water breathe
Down, down beneath
And let no one be afraid
Here where love remains
And tell them that I’m still alive
And that birds, they never really die
Forever, it’s a forever flight
And that sorry can be said with a smile
See his reflections everywhere
In the water, the fire, the earth, the sky
Hear his voice in the wind
A heart so rare
A heart so rare
Let the water breathe
Down, down beneath
And let no one be afraid
Here where love remains
Let the water breathe
Down, down beneath
And let no one be afraid
Here where love remains
