CHORUS:
Wade in the water we dey
Wade in the water children
Wade in the water,
God said He’s gonna trouble the water
VERSE ONE:
We are the sons and the daughters
We gotta stand up and make it loud
Just like our God told the Pharaoh
Let my people go (go)
We are a new generation
From the ones who have gone before
He’s calling us out of bondage
Let my people go (go)
CHORUS:
Wade in the water we dey
Wade in the water children
Wade in the water,
God said he’s gonna trouble the water
VERSE TWO:
We are the sons and the daughters
We gotta stand up and make it loud
Just like our God told the Pharaoh
Let my people go (go)
We are a new generation
From the ones who have gone before
He’s calling us out of bondage
Let my people go (go)
We no go shy no go shake
E be our Papa God wey he make the heavens
If you no say you no want trouble
Let my people go (go)
The blood sweat and the tears
That we’ve gathered through the years
If you no say you no want trouble
Let my people go (go)
CHORUS
Wade in the water we dey
Wade in the water children
Wade in the water,
God said he’s gonna trouble the water
BRIDGE
Oh oh oh x3
