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
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?
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
Take me from the river
