Lyrics
We came , from up north
Where our lives, came up short
We were young and we were so restless.
Without a sound, without a light
We rowed this boat, into the night
Please river roll us down and take us
We were just, a merely two
To be baptized in you
you cleaned our lost and dirty souls
So the scars that we kept
Nearly frightened us to death
so now it's the time for us to go
[CHORUS]
Big Blue, How are you?
How are you, Big blue
Are you blue? Me too
Big blue
But then it all sank in
Big blue you did it again
We were taking on to much of your water
So We beached that little boat
Couldn't keep her a float
My Son, my wife, my daughter
So we looked all around
A place to settle down
On the crown, where the south wind blew
Crops grew, from the mud
We wait for the spring time floods
Off the banks we thank old blue
[CHORUS]
Big Blue, How are you?
How are you, Big blue
Are you blue? Me too
Big blue
Its all, because of you
Big blue, saw us through
you've been, tried and trued
big blue
