Genesis In the Rapids Lyrics:
He dives down into the cold water. At first he is
thrown onto the rocks, and pulled under the water
by a fast moving channel, which takes him right
past John, down river.

Moving down the water
John is drifting out of sight,
Its only at the turning point
That you find out how you fight.

In the cold, feel the cold
all around
And the rush of crashing water
Surrounds me with its sound.

Rael manages to grab a rock, pull himself to the
surface and catch his breath. As John is carried
past, Rael throws himself in again and catches
hold of his arm. He knocks John unconscious and
then locking themselves together, he rides the
rapids into the slow running water, where he can
swim to safety.

Striking out to reach you
I can't get through to the other side,
When you're racing in the rapids
There's only one way, thats to ride.

Taken down, taken down
by the undertow
I'm spiralled down the river bed,
My fire is burning low.
Catching hold of a rock that's firm,
I'm waiting for John to be carried past.
We hold together, hold together and shoot the rapids fast.

But as he hauls his brother's limp body onto the
bank he lies him out and looks hopefully into his
eyes for a sign of life. He staggers back in
recoil, for staring at him with eyes wide open is
not John's face - but his own.

And when the waters slow down
The dark and the deep
have no-one, no-one, no-one, no-one
no-one left to keep.
Hang on John! We're out of this at last.
Somethings changed, that's not your face.
It's mine - it's mine!
