Lyric The Holy River
Let s go down 2 the holy river
If we drown then we ll be delivered
U can still see the picture upon the wall
One eye staring at nothing at all
The other one trying 2 focus through all your tears
U can try and try but there s nothin 2 hide
U can t run from yourself and what s inside
U got 2 find the answers 2 the questions that U most fear
So over and over U ask your soul
Why d U come down 2 a world so cold?
And the voice inside says 2night the truth will be told
U surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces
Spending your time in all the wrong places
Puttin your faith in things that only make U cry
People say they love U when they wanna help
But how can they when U can t help yourself?
The more they say they love U, the more U just wanna die
So here we go again, the self analysis
Have another glass of Port and uh.. forget this
The band s playin at the club 2night and they re bound 2 groove
There U are, U think U re high
U can t ask yourself cuz U d only lie
If U had a dollar 4 every time U tried
U can t call nobody cuz they ll tell U straight up
Come and make love when U really hate em
Relationships based on the physical are over and done
They re over and done (They re over and done)
U d rather have fun
With only one, with only one
Only one... one (one)
And then it hit cha like a fist on a wall
Who gave U life when there was none at all?
Who gave the sun permission 2 rise up everyday? (Ooh, oh yes)
Let me tell it (Go n)
If U ask God 2 love U longer
Every breath U take will make U stronger
Keepin U happy (happy) and proud 2 call His name (Go n and say it)
Jesus (Jesus)
And over and over U ask your soul
Why d U come down 2 a world so cold?
And the voice inside said 2night the truth will be told
And this time I was listening, hear me
Let s go down 2 the holy river
If we drown then we ll be delivered (Yes we will)
If we don t then we ll never see the light (No)
If U die before U try
U ll have 2 come back and face the light (Oh yes)
When U believe it, U got a good reason 2 cry (Oh my, my)
So I went on down 2 the holy river
I called my girl and told her I had something 2 give her
I asked her 2 marry me and she said yes, I cried
Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine
And.. and instead of a glass of sorrow and wine
Looking back y all, I don t miss nothing except the time
And when I see that picture upon the wall
The one eye staring at nothing at all
My eyes trying 2 focus but these are much different tears
Oh, yes they are
Let s go down 2 the holy river
Let s go down 2 the holy river
Let s go down 2 the holy river
Let s go down 2 the holy river
Let s go down 2 the holy river
Let s go down 2 the holy river
If we drown then we ll be delivered
U can still see the picture upon the wall
One eye staring at nothing at all
The other one trying 2 focus through all your tears
U can try and try but there s nothin 2 hide
U can t run from yourself and what s inside
U got 2 find the answers 2 the questions that U most fear
