[Eric Bibb, Big Daddy Wilson - Prayin' for Shore lyrics]

In a ol' leaky boat somewhere on the sea
Tryin' to get away from the war
Welcome or not, we got to land soon
Oh Lord - prayin' for shore

The town where I was born
With all my family's gone
Shattered by blast after blast
My will to live is all that survived
But each hour might be my last
Oh Lord - prayin' for shore

Our salty tears rejoin the sea
Bowin' our heads
Weepin' for the ones still livin'
For the dyin', oh Lord, an' the dead
Oh Lord - prayin' for shore

Surrounded by water, dyin' of thirst
Barely holdin' on once upon a time we had
All we needed an' more

But what we need right now - is shore
Oh Lord - prayin' for shore

God knows what await's us
In a distant, strangers' land
Might be an angry crowd
Shakin' fists in the air
Might be people reachin' out a helpin' hand
Oh Lord - prayin' for shore
Oh Lord - prayin' for shore
