Johnny Clegg - New World Survivor Lyrics

I was sitting at the corner café
Looking across Montego Bay
I wanted to remember the perfect view
But I was looking at my watch
I was waiting for you
With you're secrets and you're eyes that sing
With you're soft skirt flowing in the wind
While a picture that you always paint
Between the sinners and the saints

Is this water
Am I drowning
Is this water
Is this water
Am I drowning
Is this water

There's a boat out on the ocean
There's a swimmer in the tide
There's a nervous crowd that's watching
Hope he makes it to the other side

In this strange and new territory
I await you're arrival
I'm strong when you stand next to me
I'll be you're new world survivor

In a world that's changing
Nothing is what it seems
The old order is caving
Hold onto your dreams

You stand out like a beacon in the night
My ship is sailing by you're true light
All around us everything falling
Everything falling

Is this water
Am I drowning
Is this water

There's a boat out on the ocean
There's a swimmer in the tide
There's a nervous crowd that's watching
Hope he makes it to the other side

In this strange and new territory
I await you're arrival
I'm strong when you stand next to me
I'll be you're new world survivor

I see the promise of you're light
As we sail across these dark oceans of change
I see the promise of you're light
As we sail across these dark oceans of change

In this strange and new territory
I await you're arrival
I'm strong when you stand next to me
I'll be you're new world survivor

In this strange and new territory
I await you're arrival
I'm strong when you stand next to me
I'll be you're new world survivor
New world survivor
I'm a new world survivor
I'm a new world survivor
