Verse 1
I Went Down To The Water, I Walked Through Salted Ground
I’m Standing Close To Hope, But These Chains Still Bind Me Down
I’ll Use That Smithy’s Hammer, When I See That Morning Light
But Now I Need Your Arms, I Need Your Help Tonight
Chorus
Oh, Won’t You Carry Me High, Across The Rising Tide
Carry Me High, Far To The Other Side
Won’t You Carry Me To A Place I Can Abide
Or These Chains Will Drag Me Down
Verse 2
Iron And Steel, Ropes And Chains
Lost Hope And Lost Love, Old Aches And Pains
I’ll Use That Smithy’s Hammer, When I See That Morning Light
But Now I Need Your Arms, I Need Your Help Tonight
Chorus
Oh, Won’t You Carry Me High, Across The Rising Tide
Carry Me High, Far To The Other Side
Won’t You Carry Me To A Place I Can Abide
Or These Chains Will Drag Me Down
Verse 3
We Crossed That Water, We Reached The Other Side
I’m Standing Here With Hope, Because We Crossed That Tide
I’ll Use That Smithy’s Hammer, I’m Filled With Morning Light
My Arms Are Free To Help You Through The Night
