The Maker - Camden - DMB ft. Amos Lee - 6/16/19

The Maker 

Original Lyrics by Daniel Lanois

Oh, oh deep water, 
black and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I've run a twisted line
I'm a stranger 
in the eyes of the Maker

I could not see for the fog in my eyes
I could not feel for the fear in my life

From across the great divide, 
In the distance I saw a light
John Baptist 
walking to me with the Maker

My body is bent and broken 
by a long and dangerous sleep
I can't work the fields of Abraham 
and turn my head away
I'm not a stranger 
in the hands of the Maker

Brother John, 
have you seen the homeless daughters
Standing there with broken wings
I have seen the flaming swords
There over east of Eden

Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Burning in the eyes of the Maker

Oh, river rise from your sleep
Oh, river rise from your sleep
Oh, river rise from your sleep
