Verse 1 (Low, brooding)
Dust in his throat, sun on his back
Forty years buried in a desert black
Ran from a fire he didn’t understand
Ash in his soul, blood on his hands
Said, “I’m no voice, I’m no flame”
But the desert wind kept calling his name
Pre-Chorus (Build tension)
Midnight burning in the sand
A whisper said, “Take a stand”
Chorus (Wide, heavy, anthemic)
Raise the water
Let it rise
Feel the thunder
Split the sky
Stand unshaken
Hold the line
When the ocean opens wide
Raise the water
Watch it fall
Faith stands taller
Than any wall
⸻
Verse 2 (Driving, tense)
Back to the city of iron and chains
Back to the sound of cracking whips and pain
Pharaoh laughed from a golden throne
But heaven’s hand was not his own
Blood on the door, shadows move
Freedom’s coming through
Pre-Chorus (Bigger build)
Dust clouds rolling from behind
Steel and fire closing in
Sea ahead like a grave so wide
Nowhere left to hide
⸻
Chorus (Full power)
Raise the water
Let it rise
Feel the power
Shake the night
Walls of mercy
Standing tall
Watch the mighty empire fall
Raise the water
Hear the sound
Dry ground breaking
All around
⸻
Bridge (Dark, stripped down, then explode)
Lift it high
Don’t look back
Wind screaming
Sky turns black
Fear says run
Faith says stand
He split the sea
With one raised hand
⸻
Final Chorus (Biggest moment)
Raise the water
Let it rise
Same God moving
In our lives
If He can open
Oceans wide
He can break what’s locked inside
Raise the water
Don’t delay
Obedience
Makes a way
⸻
Outro (Haunting, sustained guitars)
You think you’re small
You think you’re weak
But seas still move
When men will speak
Raise your hand
Don’t be afraid
God still parts
The waves
