River
I spend my time, yeah, just holding on
Afraid to let go the weight swinging in my soul
No time for shaking this heavy load
Before I take myself down sinking like a stone
Gotta get myself together
Gotta wash my body clean
If I try to live forever
Gonna be the death of me
'Cos the ghost is in the water
And he's haunted by the future
Gotta leave himself to nature
Gotta take me to the sea
Let me be a river, won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me (You calling me)
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
Be a river, won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me (You calling me)
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
Be a river, won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me
(You calling me)
(You calling me)
(You calling me)
I'm going down with the waterfall
Heading to places they haven't made a record for
Keep on the good side of every low
Nowhere to hide, no horizon, nowhere to go
Sometimes I feel you with me
Sometimes I go alone
Sometimes you give your blessing
Sometime I feel the love
That river gonna take me there
That river gonna take me there
That river gonna take me there
Yeah, I know that river gonna take me there!
That river gonna take me there
That river gonna take me there
That river gonna take me there
Yeah, I know that river gonna take me there!
(Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
Let me be a river, won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me (You calling me)
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
Be a river, won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me (You calling me)
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
Be a river, won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
Be a river, won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
Afraid to let go the weight swinging in my soul
No time for shaking this heavy load
Before I take myself down sinking like a stone
Gotta get myself together
Gotta wash my body clean
If I try to live forever
Gonna be the death of me
'Cos the ghost is in the water
And he's haunted by the future
Gotta leave himself to nature
Gotta take me to the sea
Let me be a river, won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me (You calling me)
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
Be a river, won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me (You calling me)
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere

Be a river, won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
