lyrics

THE RIVER

Looking for a place to stay
Will I survive another day
Or will they take my home away?
I never dreamed I’d live this way

If you could only see my world
I must protect my little girl
Not proud of the things I’ve done
But now my baby’s number one

Chorus:
Oh, Oh, Oh, the river
Oh, Oh, Oh, the river of life

The water’s rushing over me
making it so hard to breathe
The river’s never been this deep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep

Does anybody notice me?
Am I really that hard to see?
If your brother was in my place,
Could you just turn and walk away?

Chorus

There are days and some nights
When I can’t breathe
And I’m scared all the time
And you know you must believe

If you lived in this place
Then you might see
There’s a much better place
Help me now and we’ll be free

Chorus

Take me from the river
