Lyrics

Intro

Mm-hmm

oh oh Yeah

Listen

Verse 1

Picket fence submerged

Bottom land is lost

Better either sink or swim

Heavy is the cost

Valley waits for morning

Beneath the rolling crest

Once you see the glow

Don't put it to the test

Pre-Chorus

Rivers rise and run

Rivers take their toll

Watching every bridge come down

Grit within my soul

Chorus

High water washes all the shame away

Tidal wave of fire in the middle of the day

Let it wash you clean

Let it wash you clean

Baptized in the rush of the mountain stream

Caught up in a golden holy dream

Let it wash you clean

Let it wash you clean

Verse 2

Rusted cables snap

Old church bell is rung

Silent under Golden clouds

Final song is sung

Distant thunder humming

Like a diesel in the dark

Shadows turn to lightning strikes

Jumping like a spark

Pre-Chorus

Rivers rise and run

Rivers take their toll

Watching every bridge come down

Grit within my soul

Chorus

High water washes all the shame away

Tidal wave of fire in the middle of the day

Let it wash you clean

Let it wash you clean

Baptized in the rush of the mountain stream

Caught up in a golden holy dream

Let it wash you clean

Let it wash you clean

Bridge

Sky split open

Mud turned gold

World was broken

Half was sold

Take it all

Take it all

Chorus

High water washes all the shame away

Tidal wave of fire in the middle of the day

Let it wash you clean

Let it wash you clean

Baptized in the rush of the mountain stream

Caught up in a golden holy dream

Let it wash you clean

Let it wash you clean
