Walk On Water

Ozzy Osbourne · Ozzy Osbourne - Ozzman Cometh: Greatest Hits [2000]

I met a magic man,

who had a daughter

She learned her lessons well,

but still i taught her

She followed willingly,

as lambs to slaughter

We shared forbiden fruits,

and things i brought her



You may say i'm a miracle mannequin,

Here i come with my mystical plan again,

Although you think i can, i'm just a man

And I don't walk on water (oh no)

I don't walk on water (oh no)



I followed willingly,

a sweet temptation

She had me hypnotized,

and still i'm waiting

My dromedary dreams

as wet as oceans

With sand dunes bearing seeds

she set in motion



You may say i'm a cynical charlatan

There i go with my whimsical ways again

Although you think i can, i'm just a man

And i don't walk on water (oh no)

I don't walk on water (oh no)

I don't walk on water (oh no)

I don't walk on water (oh no)



Kaliedoscopial eyes

as you look in the mirror

And the long is getting

shorter as the far is now nearer



Are you just a mirror

standing in front of me?

Am i blind,

can my eyes really see?



You may say i'm a miracle mannequin,

Here i come with my mystical plan again,

Although you think i can, i'm just a man

And i don't walk on water (oh no)

I don't walk on water (oh no)

I don't walk on water (oh no)

I don't walk on water (oh no)



My dromedary dreams

as wet as oceans

With sand dunes bearing seeds

she set in motion



My dromedary dreams

My dromedary dreams

My dromedary dreams

Walk On Water - Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzy Osbourne's 'Walk On Water' stands as a defining track from his 2000 greatest hits compilation, showcasing his enduring vocal prowess and blues-infused hard rock style. Released during a period where Osbourne sought to reaffirm his status as a rock icon, the song blends classic heavy metal riffs with a melodic, almost gospel-tinged chorus that became a staple of his live performances. The recording captures the raw energy and theatricality characteristic of Osbourne's career, serving as a bridge between his early heavy metal roots and his later work with Black Sabbath. As a staple of his discography, the track exemplifies the power ballad genre's ability to deliver both emotional depth and anthemic momentum, cementing its place in the legacy of hard rock music.
