"Walk on the Water" is a song by Creedence Clearwater Revival, written by John Fogerty. It appears on their self-titled debut album, released in 1968. It’s one of the band’s earliest recordings under the CCR name and shows the beginnings of the sound and themes they would later become famous for.

Rather than being a religious song, Walk on the Water uses irony and humor. Fogerty isn’t telling the listener what to believe; instead, he questions blind faith in authority, whether that authority comes from religion, science, or the media. The repeated line “walk on the water, children” works almost like a taunt, highlighting how easily people can be told what to believe in any era.

Musically, the track has a raw, late-1960s rock sound. It’s more garage-rock and straightforward than CCR’s later, more polished swamp-rock hits. The rhythm is driving, the guitar work is simple and punchy, and Fogerty’s vocal delivery already has the urgency and grit that would become his trademark.
