Black dirt, ever more
 Black dirt, I will follow
 In the slough is hidden thorns
 Woe is me, I am woe
 Switchback, no mountain path
 Mountain shakes me down below
 Voices call from the mountain top
 They said, "This way you cannot go"
 By land and by water (water)
 Through the wilderness wander (wander)
 By land and by water (water)
 Up through the wilderness wander (wander)
 Oh, hey, hey, oh
 Try to sneak upon the land
 By the water, I approach
 Hand-hewn from stick and hide
 I squat in the hull of my boat
 Then it's, wham-bam against the land
 My boat grows a hole
 Voices call from the stream and cliffs
 They said, "This way you cannot go"
 By land and by water (water)
 Through the wilderness wander (wander)
 By land and by water (water)
 Through the wilderness wander (wander)
 Oh, hey, hey, oh
 Hey, hey, hey, oh
 Hey, hey, hey, oh
 Come again by the mountain, I lost my way
 So I came by the water which washed all my dirt
 And I suppose I looked different, being washed so clean
 I know I need a new approach
 I think to approach through the wilderness
 And I come upon that goat
 Perched on a soapbox, he stares at me
 And in his mouth is Yeshua's clothes
 So I, pin them to my skin
 And this robe hangs too low
 We wander through the wilderness
 And I ride upon the back of the goat
 By land and by water (water)
 Through the wilderness wander (wander)
 By land and by water (water)
 Through the wilderness wander (wander)
 I, hey, hey, oh
 Hey, hey, hey, oh
 Hey, hey, hey, oh
 ♪
 You people don't appreciate me
 Or appreciate what I've been through
 Anyone who needs a "thank you" doesn't deserve it
 But, people, I hope you know I appreciate you
 Thank you for what might have been
 Thank you for what I don't know
 But thank you just the same
 That's how he raised me
 But you done knocked me low
 And it said I may be a while
 'Fore when I can get home
 But if I ever come to my people's land
 Well, they know, I will let them go
 By land and by water (water)
 Through the wilderness wander (wander)
 By land and by water (water)
 Up through the wilderness wander (wander)
 Oh, hey, hey, oh
 Oh, hey, hey, oh
 Oh, hey, hey, oh
