The River Lyrics

If you would only go

When I say to follow

If you would just believe me

When I show you the truth

Nobody knows the river

When they move out from the shallows

But I can swim if I know

That it's always me and you

Your mama said the devil

Is gettin' in between us

And I can feel the anger

Rising up in me

But you know

I'd never curse you out from heaven

God lets evil flourish

In the hopes that you might see

When the time has come to pass

I hope that you have listened

Right now it seems so pointless

The cause for my alarm

If the currents are too fast

And something pulls me under

I hope that you just know

I didn't mean you any harm
