Walk on water, ain’t it like her
She leads the children
Ain’t it right, ain’t it right, ain’t it right

And ain’t it wond’rous,
The way she does it
Gives love and loves it
Ain’t it right, ain’t it right, ain’t it right

Light de light, we got mornin’,
Mornin’ makes another day
Glory sight, got de dawnin’
Lordy, light the night away

Light de light, we got de mornin’,
Mornin’ makes another day
Glory sight, got de dawnin’
Lordy, light the night away

Light de light, we got mornin’,
Mornin’ makes another day
Glory sight, got de dawnin’
Lordy, light the night away

She walks on water,
Ah, ain’t it like her
She leads the children
Ain’t it right, ain’t it right, ain’t it right
