Into the River Lyrics

Through the ages

Empires rise and fall

But I stood my ground

I survived it all

The world keeps pushing me up

Against the wall

Still I find a way

To keep standing tall

As I step into the river

Wash the stains from the battleground

And I know I've been delivered

By this strange new peace that I found

As I sink into the river

And it's quiet all around

I will rise renewed and better

So that nothing brings me down

When the darkness

Closes in around me

I reach into my soul

And find the key

Once you know the truth

It sets you free

You learn to love yourself

Unconditionally

As I step into the river

(As I step into the river)

Wash the stains from the battleground

(Wash the stains from the battleground)

And I know I've been delivered

(And I know I've been delivered)

By this strange new peace that I found

(By the strange new peace that I found)

As I sink into the river

(As I sink into the river)

And it's quiet all around

(And it's quiet all around)

I will rise renewed and better

(I will rise renewed and better)

So that nothing brings me down

(Nothing ever brings me down)

'Cause as I step into the river

I find myself go deeper and deeper

Just as the water washes away all the pain

I find myself I'm whole again

(As I step into the river)

(As I step into the river)

(As I step into the river)

(As I step into the river)

As I step into the river

(As I step into the river)

Wash the stains from the battleground

(Wash the stains from the battleground)

And I know I've been delivered

(And I know I've been delivered)

By this strange new peace that I found

(By the strange new peace that I found)

As I sink into the river

(As I sink into the river)

And it's quiet all around

(And it's quiet all around)

I will rise renewed and better

(I will rise renewed and better)

So that nothing brings me down

(Nothing ever brings me down)

(As I step into the river)

(As I step into the river)

(As I step into the river)

(As I step into the river)

(As I step)
