About this track
"Walking on Water (When It Freezes)" brings a gritty, alternative edge to the album. It’s a cynical yet hopeful track about the struggle of faith when miracles feel more like survival mechanisms. (Verse 1) They say it’s a miracle, walking on the sea But it looks a lot like slipping to me The temperature dropped to ten below Now the ocean is nothing but ice and snow So yeah, I’m out here standing on the deep While the rest of the world is fast asleep (Pre-Chorus) It’s easy to have faith when the ground is hard When you don’t have to trust, you just play the card But I can hear the cracking underneath my feet The cold reality and the spiritual heat (Chorus) I’m walking on water, but it’s frozen solid I’m keeping my balance, but I feel so invalid Is it still a miracle if it’s just physics? Is it still holy if I’m full of critics? I’m waiting for the thaw, waiting to sink Walking on water, on the brink (Verse 2) I asked for a sign, I asked for a hand I got a winter that covered the land Maybe that’s how You save me these days Not with a fire, but with a cold haze Keeping me up cause I’m too heavy to float Using the ice like a life-saving boat (Pre-Chorus) It’s easy to have faith when the ground is hard When you don’t have to trust, you just play the card But I can hear the cracking underneath my feet The cold reality and the spiritual heat (Chorus) I’m walking on water, but it’s frozen solid I’m keeping my balance, but I feel so invalid Is it still a miracle if it’s just physics? Is it still holy if I’m full of critics? I’m waiting for the thaw, waiting to sink Walking on water, on the brink (Bridge) Break the ice, let me fall in Wash away the doubt and the original sin I’m tired of skating on the surface of grace I want to drown in the look on Your face (Chorus) I’m walking on water, but it’s frozen solid I’m keeping my balance, but I feel so invalid Is it still a miracle if it’s just physics? Is it still holy if I’m full of critics? I’m waiting for the thaw, waiting to sink Walking on water, on the brink (Outro) Don’t let me sink. (Sound of ice cracking) Don’t let me sink.
