Take Me to the Water...
Take me down to the river to be baptized.
Let me dip down in the river Jordan and rise anew
Let the rush of the Congo's rapid currents purge my heart of doubt
Surely there are cleansing waters that can heal my weary soul.
Let me lap in the waves of the Euphrates
And wade knee deep in the mighty Mississippi
Can I float to the Nile's fertile delta?
There, basking in the amniotic fluid of all humanity
I can be born anew.
Take me to the water
