Apostle Andrew was fishing one day,
And the Man was walking the waves;
And that day Andrew's catch was small fish in small batches,
The Man's catch was many lost men.
"Andrew cried from his pier: "Rabbi, I'll walk away
If You don't share your secret with me",
And the Man told him: "Andrew, I plead you stay calm",
"There's no secret and never has been".

Can you see? A big cross
Towers high on the hill,
Soldiers walking around.
Hang in there for a while!
You can come back to me,
When you feel that you're done.
We'll walk on the waves,
We'll walk on the waves
Together: you and I.
.
"But my Rabbi, there's ravens circling the skies,
And soldiers with horns on their helms,
Please, have mercy oh this humble fool, tell me now;
And, mayhap, crucifixion can wait?"
The Man was all pale; He stomped on the water
And said: "Humble fool, Andrew dear?
You've named yourself aptly", and Andrew went home
With his mundane catch and in tears.
.
Can you see? A big cross
Towers high on the hill,
Soldiers walking around.
Hang in there for a while!
You can come back to me,
When you feel that you're done.
We'll walk on the waves,
We'll walk on the waves
Together: you and I.
