Song Lyrics

My father tried to save me
He said believe in the spirit of God
Leave me alone
My mother tried to heal me
She said just feel me, just feel me
Now leave me alone
My brother tried to scold me
He tried to hold me, to mold me
Now leave me alone

My sister tried to listen
But she couldn't understand
It's not how I stand, but where I stand

And you talk
And you talk
And you talk
And then you walk
And you get what you wanted all along
And then you walk

And then you walk oil in the water
How come you can't be with me?
Oil in the fire
I remember how it used to be
Swan in the water
You're moving so elegantly

And it burns
And it burns
And it burns
And it burns
And it burns

I know World War 3 tried to convince me
It was shouting on the radio and TV screen
Leave me alone
My angels tried to mess me
Constantly testing me and testing me
Now leave me alone
The devil tried to bless me
Confessing the debt
Leave me alone

My sister tried to listen
But she couldn't understand
It's not how I stand, but where I stand

And you talk
And you talk
And you talk
And then you walk
And you get what you wanted all along
And then you walk

And then you walk oil in the water
How come you can't be with me?
Oil in the fire
I remember how it used to be
Swan in the water
You're moving so elegantly

And it burns
And it burns
And it burns

Oh Lord, oh Lord

So God move me

The world is trying to break me, is trying to break me
The world is trying to break me, is trying to break me
The world is trying to break me, is trying to break me
Aww ohhhh the world is trying to break me, is trying to break me
This world is trying to break me, is trying to break me
This world is trying to break me, ooh is trying to break me
Ooh is trying to break me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord, oh Lord
I don't want to wait, for you
