When The Ground Is Gone

The water has no mercy, so ours must matter more
When it takes the ground, we become the shore
Hold on, help is coming, let the river show its power
We still decide what happens next (hey, hey, rrah)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) ay
Yesterday had walls, plans for morning
Then the water rose, the road disappeared
Everything you counted on was suddenly not there
And one steady hand became everything
Water doesn't listen, doesn't stop for grief
We can't give yesterday back, but we can answer now
Keep the axe, bring the oar
Your shield with mine, we go once more
A Viking earns a name by who he won't abandon
Don't tell me to stay
If you turn toward the water, I'm turning with you
