When The Ground Is Gone

The water has no mercy, so ours must matter more
When it takes the ground, we become the shore
Hold on, help is coming, let the river show its power
We still decide what happens next (hey, hey, rrah)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) ay
Yesterday had walls, plans for morning
Then the water rose, the road disappeared
Everything you counted on was suddenly not there
And one steady hand became everything
Water doesn't listen, doesn't stop for grief
We can't give yesterday back, but we can answer now
Keep the axe, bring the oar
Your shield with mine, we go once more
A Viking earns a name by who he won't abandon
Don't tell me to stay
If you turn toward the water, I'm turning with you
Your strength beside mine
My strength beside yours
We go as two, ah, yay!
Let the water hit hard, let the water pull
We're not standing safe while somebody calls
If there's a voice in the roar, we turn back
If there's a hand up of water, we take it
Hold on (oh)
Help is close
You are not alone
One day, you're the one with nowhere left to go
One day, you're the one who can become the shore
Today we carry someone, tomorrow they may carry us
We're coming
Ay
Ay
The water has no mercy, so ours must matter more
When it takes the ground, we become the shore
Let the river show its power
We will show ours
Raven overhead
We know which way to go
Somebody's calling
We heard
Somebody's waiting
We're coming
Together
Bring them home, home, home, home
Oh
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh
