This is the latest song I have been working on. I would appreciate thoughts on lyric and/or arrangement.
Thank you

Love, above the high water line (Burt Crow 30.09.2010)
1.
Born on the shores of Mississippi
Wet in rainfalls, that floods our history
Now the river’s getting higher
My daddy said its time to leave
He could see that I was frightened
He said son just believe
Ch
That we’ve got love, above the high water line
Even if this flood is a ‘one in a lifetime’
The levees may break; the river will take what it finds
But love remains high and dry
Above the high water line

My daddy passed, drowned saving our neighbour
So I grew up fast working the delta
Now the river’s getting higher
As a wake my daughter and wife
See my little girl is frightened
I say it’ll be all right
Ch
Bridge
Like a story from the bible I curse the storm and ask my God
Why’d you test me with this trial, when I’m sinking and can’t go on?
Then I feel my father’s hand
Guiding me to higher ground
And I breathe
And I believe
