River

I go, i go Walking south by the river I'm told, i'm told I'll find gold by the river So long, so long My dear friends and hello strangers Oh shine, oh shine My sweet metal please release me Oh my bodies soar, don't hurt no more It's time, it's time I hope my search will find an answer It's hard but i keep on wondering how My life could change for the better You know i tried to get things right Thought this would be the answer So wash, so wash Wash that dirt from my treasure Oh this precious gold won't make me whole Please, let me go All i ever wanted was right in front of me This life made me empty I've got nothing left to give How you hurt my pride, You pushed me down to the ground All you ever wanted was to hold me down It's hard but i keep on wondering how My life could change for the better You know i tried to get things right Thought this would be the answer So I wash, i wash I wash that dirt from my treasure It's hard, so hard But i learn and i get better Oh this precious gold won't make me whole I go, i go But it's a long way to the river And i can't find any gold By the river
