Stumble down along the broken asphalt
You see it laid across the heaving earth
Mumble sounds you know the wind will swallow
You count some hours
You count some dollars
You count some numbers
But is that all that your life is worth?

Deep down
Under the darkened waters
Deep down
Under the rolling sea
Deep down
All of you sons and daughters
Down inside of me

Broken open like a robin's egg shell
Bare naked as the day you were born
There is a witness and they're standing in a doorway
You see a shadow
You make a judgement
You are that witness will your testimony be foresworn?

You can call it anything you want to
It will answer any name that you give
Ain't no credentials given, ain't no deals made
Sure as you're born here
You're gonna die here
So what else matters but the code of honor that you live?

Deep down
Under the darkened waters
Deep down
Under the rolling sea
Deep down
All of you sons and daughters
Down inside of me
