"River"

Been traveling these wide roads for so longMy heart’s been far from youTen-thousand miles gone

Oh, I wanna come near and give yaEvery part of meBut there is blood on my handsAnd my lips aren’t clean

In my darkness I rememberMomma’s words reoccur to me"Surrender to the good LordAnd he’ll wipe your slate clean"

Take me to your riverI wanna goOh, go onTake me to your riverI wanna know

Tip me in your smooth watersI go inAs a man with many crimesCome up for airAs my sins flow down the Jordan

Oh, I wanna come near and give yaEvery part of meBut there is blood on my handsAnd my lips aren’t clean

Take me to your riverI wanna goGo on,Take me to your riverI wanna know

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna goI wanna know, wanna know, wanna knowWanna go, wanna go, wanna goWanna know, wanna know, wanna knowWanna go, wanna go, wanna goWanna know, wanna know, wanna know

Take me to your riverI wanna goLord, please let me knowTake me to your riverI wanna know
