Floodplain

Some hearts are built on a floodplain

Keeping one eye on the sky for rain

You work for the ground that gets washed away

When you live closer

Closer to the life and the ebb and flow

Closer to the edge of I don’t know

Closer to that’s the way it goes

Some hearts are built on a floodplain

And it’s easy to sigh on a high bluff

Look down and ask when you’ve had enough

Will you have the sense to come on up

Or will you stay closer

Closer to the danger and the rolling deep

Closer to the run and the losing streak

And what brings us to our knees

Some hearts live here

Oh the river it rushes to madness

And the water it spreads like sadness

And there’s no high ground

And there’s no high ground

Closer to the danger and the rolling deep

Closer to the run and the losing streak

And what brings us to our knees

Closer to the life and the ebb and flow

Closer to the edge of I don’t know

Closer to Lord please send a boat

Some hearts are built here
