Take Me Out On the Water
Take me out on the water
I will stare up at the sky
Say goodbye to wife and daughter
Tell my sons I’m bound to die
And my soul will float away
As across the waves I wend
I have played, I have prayed
Now I’m off to meet my end.
Take me out on the water
Fire falling from the skies
Was it really all for naught or
Will I finally grasp the prize?
For Valhalla I’ve been striving
For the peace I’ve never known
Tell my forebears I’m arriving
And, at last, I will be home.
Take me out on the water
One can celebrate a life
I will miss my sons and daughter
I’ll forever love my wife
But I seek a new horizon
As I travel on the tide
And my spirit will be rising
When I reach the other side.
